In general,  we recommend that when giving tithes and offerings, you use a debit transfer from your bank account. This allows online convenience to be applied to the discipline of giving without encouraging the acquiring of debt. Paypal allows debit transfer from your bank account, and this is our preferred method of receiving donations. We do recognize, however, that some will prefer to use the credit card option for security and other reasons, and therefore also allow credit card donations.  

We are all trying to keep in balance in many areas of our lives – work, family, finances – the list can go on and on. As a community of faith we recognize that it is easy to get out of balance with our personal finances, including becoming overextended with credit card debt. Our goal in offering online giving through credit card use is with the intent that donors will not incur debt to give.

If you are struggling with credit card debt we encourage you to check out some of the links below to organizations that have programs designed to help:
