ONLINE GIVING
GIVING FAQs
Can I use the online method occasionally but use cash/check at other times?
Yes! You have the freedom to choose which giving option is best for you each time you give. You can use the online method exclusively, or just when you are away. You can also use the online giving tool to make a one-time donation or schedule reoccuring giving.
Do you electronically store debit/credit card information?
No. The only information that is stored is your contact information.
Is the process secure?
We use software called Faith Teams to handle all of our transactions. They have a rock-solid infrastructure, where everything is highly encrypted, protected and backed-up.
Is there a transaction fee charged?
To you, no. To Peace Chapel, yes. A small transaction fee is charged to Peace Chapel when the donation is received.
Why would Peace Chapel offer this if transaction fees are deducted?
Giving to the church is an integral part of a person’s spiritual devotion. Online giving is a tool to help people develop that spiritual discipline in their lives. Fee-deducted giving is better than not giving. Many people are more likely to carry their smart phone than their checkbook; this gives more people opportunity to give during the regular worship service. Often, people are moved to give during the week, when not in a church service. This provides the opportunity to obey that leading on the spot. When giving is convenient and easy, it’s more likely to be done. When people automate giving, they’re less likely to forget it when they’re away. When an immediate need arises (i.e., disaster relief, special offering, benevolence), the online giving option allows people to give to these projects, even if they did not come prepared to do so during the weekly service.
