Questions and Answers

1. What is online giving?

Online giving is the ability to give a donation or schedule a series of donations using an eCheck, debit or credit card.

Setting up an account and password allows you to enter a highly secure environment for your transaction. Once your account and password are established, all of your personal information including credit card information is safe and protected.

You can give online from your checking account.

5. Can I use my debit card or credit card?

Yes. Visa and Master Card are accepted.

7. What funds can I give towards?

At this time, you can give to Tithes or the Building Fund.

8. Can I make a one-time contribution?

Yes. The system allows you the option of either making a one-time contribution or setting up a recurring contribution that is scheduled to come out of your bank account at dates specified by you during the month.

9. If I want to set up a recurring gift, what are my options for frequency of my gift?

For recurring gifts, you have the option of giving weekly, every two weeks, once a month or every three months.

10. Can I change my personal information or the amount or the frequency of my gift once I have set it up?

Yes. You can change or cancel your contribution at anytime before the date of your next contribution. Simply log in to the system using your user name and password and make the necessary changes in the system. (Please keep in mind that, per IRS regulations, once a gift has been made to the church it cannot be refunded.)

11. Can I review my donation history online?

Yes. The site will allow you to view the history of your donations beginning as of January 1, 2008. All giving whether by check, cash, or online donation will be reflected in your giving history.

12. Will I still receive regular contribution statements from the church?

Yes. The church will continue to send contribution statements to your address on file for tax purposes.

13. When will contributions be taken from my account?

Contributions will be taken from your specified bank account within 48 business hours of the date you requested. This time frame allows time for the contribution to process through your bank and the church's bank. If the date of your contribution falls on a weekend or a holiday, the transaction will be initiated on the next banking day.

14. How will I know that I set up my gift correctly?

Immediately after setting up your contribution, you will receive a confirmation email.

15. Does it matter which internet browser I use?

The online giving program was designed to work most effectively with the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher
- Firefox 3.0 or higher
- Safari 3.0 or higher

16. If we want to help people get out of debt, why does Worship Center accept credit card donations?

Used within the parameters, debit and credit cards can be an efficient tool for payments and purchases. Many people utilize them in place of checks or cash throughout the month, and then pay off the balance in full. For these people, we offer the option of using a debit or credit card to give. We strongly discourage those who have ongoing credit card debt from exercising this option.

17. I have additional questions about online giving that have not been addressed. Who can I talk to?

For any questions, concerns or comments about the online giving system, please contact the finance office by email at finance@worshipcenter.org or by phone at 717.656.4271. You will receive a response from our staff as soon as possible.
