Benefits of Giving On Line
There are several benefits to giving for both you and our church. Some of them are …
- Faithfully Honoring God: When you make a commitment to give online through your banks online bill payer service, 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: Online giving, through your bank utilizes 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 Westminster Presbyterian Church: Online giving is more cost effective for our church to process and it makes our record keeping much easier.
My Story
“Throughout the week, there are many worldly things pulling me away from my commitment to God. I come to church on Sunday at Westminster to reconnect and renew my relationship with Him. Part of my worship is to ask him for forgiveness for my lack of faithfulness. I leave, reminded that he loves me, forgives me, and walks beside me every day. What a profound blessing that is!”
