Online Giving To set-up your account and begin giving online or to manage your account, click here A letter from the Finance Committee is below. September 10, 2008 Dear Church Family, We want to make you aware of a new way of giving to Christ Community Church. Through our church website, you can now give online! On our web site's home page, you will see an "ONLINE GIVING" line at the top of the column on the left, and for the next few weeks it will also be listed in the middle of the page under the photo of our church. Simply click on the link and you will be taken to the "Online Giving" page. From there, just sign in, and follow the very simple directions.
Users of online giving are responsible for setting up and controlling their online giving options themselves. You can designate where your giving goes (tithe, fair share, missions, etc.) and the frequency with which you give. You will be able to conveniently track your online giving by logging in and viewing your history. (Note online records will not reflect any manual giving.) Online giving is secure and tax deductible. Online giving allows you to set-up your giving using an automatic bank draft to your account. Credit cards are not permitted. Benefits of online giving: You can prioritize giving in your budget. The Bible indicates giving is to be a "first" and not a last or leftover matter in my life. Read Proverbs 3:9-10. It is easy to let our standards and intentions be compromised by the press of expenses and billing cycles. With online giving, your giving is done automatically. You can increase your faithfulness. Have you ever forgotten your gift, left it at home or pledged to double it in the future? Have you had times where you have fallen behind because of travel and other schedule interruptions? Online giving provides a way to strengthen your faithfulness. You can help your church. Through online giving, you expedite your gift, simplify our accounting, and strengthen our base of regular support. You can encourage faith and faithfulness in the lives of fellow believers. As you plan and prioritize your giving, you will lead the way for others to grow and mature in their spiritual stewardship. Being a forerunner in this new area of planned giving, you can provide personal testimony and example for others to follow. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Don Bausman, Jr.
