1. It’s a step of faith.
When you sign up to give online you are deciding in advance to faithfully give to God’s work. God always blesses that kind of faith!
2. It keeps first things first.
The Bible tells us to honor the Lord with our wealth, with the “firstfruits of our crop” (read Proverbs 3:9-10) It is easy to let our intentions be compromised by the pressure of expenses and billing cycles, but the Bible teaches when we give to Him “firstfruits” He will bless us!
3. It's consistent.
Have you had times where you have fallen behind in your giving because of travel or other schedule interruptions? Have you ever forgotten your gift, left it at home or pledged to double it in the future? Online giving provides a way to stay up to date with your budget.
4. It's convenient.
Every person who gives through automated giving makes our record keeping much easier. Through online giving, you not simplify our accounting, but expedite your gift, and strengthen our base of regular support.
5. It’s easy.
You can give online in the comfort of your home. You can also look at your giving records online, monitor and change pledges, and pay for retreats, special events, etc. at the same time.
"Since you excel in so many ways--you have so much faith, such gifted speakers, such knowledge, such enthusiasm, and such love for us--now I want you to excel also in this gracious ministry of giving..." 2 Corinthians 8:7
