Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my routing and account number?
This article provides a step-by-step process and is very helpful.
Are there any potential security risks?
It's impossible to rule out all risks. However, we have retained the services of highly reputable processors that have an impeccable reputation and top security standards. We do not receive any of your account information. In fact, writing a check or using a debit card at a restaurant is considerably more risky than using these online tools, as long as you safeguard your password for services like PayPal. So, giving online through our website is very safe.
Does the church prefer one method over the other?
We want for you to have the convenience of multiple ways to give, so please choose whichever is best for you. There is no charge to you for using any of these service. However, small fees are assessed to us for some of the services. All in all, the fees are very low and competitive, and they are regarded as a "cost of doing business" in any sector that uses payment processing. We believe that using Clover Give will be easier for you, especially if you want to give recurrently. Of course, using BillPay through your bank or credit union is free on all accounts, in addition to being very simple to set up. Many of our members have used it for years.
Are my donations still tax-exempt?
Absolutely. Every donation you make to us will be identified on your charitable gift form and can be used as a component of your itemized deductions when you file your taxes.
Who will be able to see what I give?
Carolyn Jones is our office administrator and bookkeeper. She has access to all of the records, but does not share any individual records with any of the church staff. Your privacy is very important to us. You may email Carolyn directly with questions or call the church office and ask to speak with her.
