WAYS TO GIVE
Choose a way to give to see how it works.
Give once or set up a recurring gift by card or bank account through Church Center, on the web or in the Church Center app.
Giving from your bank account costs the church the least. To change or stop a recurring gift, use Manage My Giving at the top of this page.

Start stock, IRA and donor-advised fund gifts by Dec 15. Give online by Dec 31.
Checks count if they’re postmarked by Dec 31 or given in the offering at our last service of the year. Giving statements go out by Jan 31.
