Online Giving

Now you can choose to have your regular offering, or renovation pledge, or any other gift automatically transferred from any bank account. This service is available through the United Church of Christ and will operate just like your online bill payments. It will promote consistent giving and make it easier to forecast cash flow. FCC will have complete control over contribution information, and confidentiality will be maintained as in the past. Let me stress that no one will be required to participate in online giving. If you wish to give as you always have in the past you may continue to do so. However, if you wish to give electronically, you now have that option.

Here’s how easy it is to set up:

Step 1: Download the authorization form

Step 2: Fill out the form and return it to the church office and your budget pledge, and/or your “Transforming the Church – Brick by Brick” pledge will be automatically deducted from your checking or savings account on one or more dates each month. Just as the expenses of our church continue, so will your gift — even if you are unable to be in worship when you would normally give.

FCC will be charged twenty-five cents for every transaction. Therefore, we ask you to consider raising your pledge commensurate with the cost of providing this service. For example, if you give twice each month then you could increase your giving by an additional fifty cents each month. Think of it like paying for your offering envelopes at the beginning of each year, only now you won’t have to fill one out each time you give.
