There are several benefits to online giving for both you and our church. Here are a few . . .''

  • Faithfully Honoring God - When you sign up to give online you are deciding in advance to faithfully give. God always blesses that kind of faith! The Bible teaches that we are to honor God with the “First Fruits” of our labor (Proverbs 3:9). 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 faithfully given back to God.
  • Simplicity - You won’t have to remember whether you gave this month or send in an offering by mail when you’re on a trip.
  • Security – We utilize an encrypted secure website for your online records. Online giving is more secure than giving with a check or cash because an electronic gift can’t be lost or stolen. 
  • Focus – Instead of having to worry about writing a check and filling out an envelope during the service, you can be fully focused on the worship service, knowing that you have already given your offering.
  • Helping The Vineyard – Online giving is more cost effective for our church to process, and it makes our record keeping much easier.

 

A NOTE ABOUT CREDIT CARDS

While we allow the use of credit cards for tithes and offerings, we still strongly encourage the use of electronic funds transfer rather than credit card for two primary reasons:

Although many pay off their credit cards each month, many also do not.  We do not want to encourage someone to go into debt and pay interest on gifts given to the church.

With electronic transfers from your bank account (through your bank's online bill pay), your entire gift goes to the church. When using a credit card, as much as 2.5% of your gift goes directly to the credit card company.
