Whether giving through your bank’s bill pay or online through our church website, there are several benefits for both you and the church of setting up recurring giving.
First Fruits: In Proverbs 3:9 we are taught to honor the Lord with the “First Fruits” of our labor. It is a way to put God first in our finances every time we receive income. By setting up a recurring contribution that is scheduled to come out of your account on the day you specify you can ensure that your First Fruits are given back to God.
Simplicity: You will not need to remember if you gave this month or send in your contribution checks when you are out of town.
Adaptable: If you want to change your giving, you can give special designated offerings online or change the recurring amount of your contribution with a simple click of the button on your computer or smartphone.
Reporting: You’ll receive the same charity giving report for income tax purposes as if you gave in person or mailed in a check.
Security: Recurring giving is secure in that an electronic gift can’t be lost or stolen. Our system uses secure industry standard encryption.
Helping Life Church: Recurring online gifts require less processing from our finance team since the information is logged and deposited automatically.
