Q: What are the benefits of online giving?
A: Online giving allows you to prioritize giving in your budget. Proverbs 3:9-10
states that giving is to be a "first" and not a last or leftover matter in our lives.
Online Giving helps you increase your faithfulness by setting consistent giving that
will not be forgotten, left at home or interrupted because of travel or vacations. You
can also help the church by expediting your gift and simplifying the accounting of gifts.
Online Giving is one way you can encourage the faith and faithfulness of fellow believers. Others
who see your planned and prioritized giving will be encouraged to grow and mature in their own
spiritual stewardship.
