WHY WE GIVE
Just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving” (2 Corinthians 8:7, NIV).
Giving is important to spiritual growth. Tithes and offerings reflect a grateful heart that wants to give back to God a portion of what He has given us—in reality, what is already His. James 1:17 says “every good and perfect gift is from above.” Tithing is an opportunity to tangibly show God that He is the owner of our finances by giving back to Him the first 10% of what He gives us. Offerings are gifts given above our tithes as God leads us to give. Just as we work to excel in other areas of our Christian lives, may we all “excel in this grace of giving.”
Follow the E-Giving link for an easy and secure way to contribute your tithes and offerings to Evangel Assembly of God.
What is E-Giving?
E-Giving is short for electronic giving. It is an automatic transfer program that allows you to make contributions without the hassle of writing checks.
How does it work?
After clicking on the e-giving logo, simply follow the directions to authorize an ACH deduction and you can make a donation via your checking, savings account, or credit/debit card; it will be transferred directly to the church's account.
What company provides this service?
The Envelope service, established in 1915, has been printing our offering envelopes. In 1999 they began developing E-Giving and it was officially launched in June, 2004.
Can I donate to various funds and caused in the Church?
Absolutely, just go to step 2 of "Making a Donation" and indicate how much you would like to give to each fund.
How often will the amount be deducted from my account?
That's up to you. You can make a one-time donation or set up recurring donations.
Can I look up my donations online?
You can view all donations completed online, print out a statement, and even use it for tax purposes. Please note that the online statement will not show any offerings you gave at the church (e.g., checks and envelope giving). You may obtain your complete donation statement from the treasurer.
How much does E-Giving cost?
Nothing to you and a nominal fee to the church.
Can anyone at the church see my account numbers?
No one at the church has access to your personal information.
Can I use my credit/debit cards?
Yes, but we advise everyone to use their credit cards wisely.
What if I try it and I don't like it?
You can cancel your automatic deduction schedule on the website at any time.
