F.A.Q
Q: Why should I give online?
It's a personal preference, but here are a few of the benefits we hear frequently.
- It's a step of faith...deciding in advance to give faithfully.
- It helps simplify life...no trying to remember whether or not you've given this month.
- It allows you to give consistently...even when you're not at church.
- It allows you to focus on the service when you're at church.
Q: How do I give online?
Click the "Give Online" button and follow the prompts to create an account and set up your contribution.
Q: I clicked the "Give Online" button and nothing happens.
When you click Online Giving, a new browser window is opened. If you are using a pop-up blocker such as the Google Toolbar, Norton Internet Security, or Pop-Up Stopper, the window will not open. Most tools will allow you to permit pop-ups on a specific website. In order to use the Giving area, you will need to allow pop-ups within this website.
Q: When would this automatic contribution be charged to my account?
On the signup screens, you can specify whether you want your contribution made one time, weekly, twice per month (1st and the 15th), monthly, quarterly, or yearly. You can set up as many schedules as you would like, so it is possible to give a monthly gift as well as a weekly one.
Q: Can I test this by giving one time?
Yes. You may test Online Giving by selecting “One Time” in the frequency drop down box of the signup process.
Q: How can I keep a record of the amount I have contributed?
At any time you can view your record of online giving by viewing the Contribution History box. This will provide each donation you made, when you made it, and a year-to-date total. We also send year end statements directly to your home address.
Q: Can I give to the Building Fund?
Yes. Select Building Fund. The Building Fund is for contributions over and above normal tithes and offerings. Note: You will need to set up two different schedules to give to both the General Fund and the Building Fund online.
Q: How do I participate in the weekly offering if my contribution is automatically processed online?
You can still participate in the offering during the service by reflecting on the message of the song or media that is being presented.
Q: Can I use my debit card or credit card?
Yes, as long as it's MasterCard or Visa.
Q: Can I use an electronic check?
No, not at this time.
Q: How do I get a refund?
Currently we do not refund contributions. If you have a question concerning your giving, please contact our Accounting Department at (352)873-3767.
Q: Who do I talk to if I have more questions?
Contact our Accounting Department at the church office (352)873-3767, x333 and we'll be glad to answer any other questions you may have.
