Online Giving
The Bible teaches that our giving to God is based on His example as a giver and motivated by our gratitude to Him. 1 Corinthians 16:2 specifies that our giving should be...
- Proportional (a tithe)—"in keeping with his income..."
- Personal—"each one of you..."
- Practical—"on the first day of the week (Sunday)..."
- Planned—"set aside, saving it up..."
I'm excited that we can now offer the option of online giving, a method that will help you accomplish all four of the above! Many of you have requested this option. It can help you develop and stick to the discipline of regular, generous giving to the Lord by removing some of the obstacles associated with it—forgetfulness, waiting until the end of the month, or temptation (see Malachi 3:10, James 4:7). Online or bank draft giving is a form of advance decision making, which can help you make your giving as consistent as your car payment or health club membership dues.
Simply follow the instructions below to set up any of the three available options. When our offering baskets are passed each Sunday, breathe a prayer of gratitude to the Lord, knowing that your obedience honors Him!
