GIVING
Why give money to the church? Because it’s the right thing to do? A good tax write-off? God needs it? The church expects it?
Before explaining what to write on your check or how to give online, it’s far more important that you know why we encourage you to give to God by giving to the church. To put it simply, it’s what God says to do. He tells us in the Bible that He wants us to give regularly, generously, and sacrificially out of all He gives us - all as part of our worship of Him.
Not because God needs what we have, but because we need to give it. What we do with what we have directs our heart. Giving to God reminds us that He has given us everything we have and can be counted on to meet every need we will ever have. Giving something back to Him is an expression of gratitude and worship.
Online Giving
A growing trend in our society is to utilize available technology that provides the ability to pay bills online through the Internet. Many names have been attached to this technology, and at Community Church we call it “E-Gift.”
With E-Gift, individuals can sign up to have their financial gifts given to Community Church automatically through an electronic transfer of funds between a personal bank account and the church account. Companies and individuals have long used this system as a safe, fast and efficient means for making payments, and Community Church has used this technology with success for several years.
For individuals, E-Gift represents an efficient means to give financially to Community Church. In addition, E-Gift provides individuals an opportunity to simplify their lifestyle with structured giving, and a means to continue to give when out town or unable to attend a weekend service.
For Community Church, E-Gift represents a process to serve our church family more effectively, allows our accounting staff increased efficiency while processing contributions, reduces costs associated with processing checks, and provides a more even contribution flow, especially during those summer months while many are away!
As with other electronic fund transfers, the appropriate confidentiality and security measures are in place. Community Church remains committed to protecting, with the utmost care, any information it holds. Our internal controls and computer security are always under inspection so as to remain safe, secure and above reproach.
If you are interested in participating in or have questions about E-Gift please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), 593-3478.
