Valley Christian Center invites you to consider our new electronic giving program as a way to automate your regular weekly or monthly offering. Electronic giving offers convenience for individuals and will appeal to many of us—from longtime givers who will appreciate an alternative to frequent check writing to many younger givers who prefer to pay or donate by electronic means whenever possible. By clicking the Online Giving link, you will be able to give to Tithes & Offerings, Missions, Building Fund, and Camp Scholarships, or make payments for Camp Registration or other events.
Please understand that the purpose in providing an electronic giving program is for your convenience and to reduce administrative work. This is NOT a means to get you to give more, nor is it in any way our desire for you to give money you do not have via credit. As always, we encourage giving that is grounded in your relationship with Christ, and that exhibits your love for and trust in Him.
Direct Debit Giving is a low-cost payment method used to automatically transfer funds from an individual’s checking or savings account to the church’s bank account via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is also called Direct Debit, Direct Payment or simply, ACH. Direct Debit Giving will enable every household or individual to make their church offering using electronic funds transfer (EFT). You may already be using EFT to pay your mortgage, car payment or insurance premium through an automatic withdrawal from your checking or savings account.
There is no cost to you for this new giving option. If you are currently giving on a weekly basis, you will no longer need to write out 52 checks a year or prepare 52 envelopes. And, when travel, illness or other circumstances prevent you from attending services, this program will allow your regular offerings to continue on an uninterrupted basis.
Debit/Credit Card Giving lets you make offerings automatically on a pre-determined schedule using a debit/credit card. Today, many families use debit cards as a convenient alternative to checks. There is a processing fee for using Debit/Credit cards and you have the option to pay this cost for the church. Simply click the Online Giving link and follow the instructions.
