Open your heart without opening your checkbook. Your Giving Allows JELC to Continue its Long Tradition of Worship, Outreach and Service.
With an automatic debt plan, you don’y need to ask yourself “Where are my envelopes?” or “Did I miss an offering?”…
Electronic Giving is the term used to describe automatic methods for making contributions on a regular basis without the need to write checks, carry cash or prepare envelopes. Although Direct Debit Giving is the original and most popular form of electronic giving, the term is now widely used to describe Credit & Debit Card Giving and Online Giving as well. The following discussion pertains only to Direct Debit Giving.
JELC invites you to consider our electronic giving program.
It is an option to automate your regular weekly offering or for an easy one time offering. Electronic giving offers convenience for individual congregation members and provides much-needed donation consistency for our congregation. We anticipate that electronic giving will appeal to many church members—from longtime worshipers who will appreciate an alternative to frequent check writing to younger members and others who prefer to pay or donate by electronic means whenever possible.
Direct Debit Giving is used to automatically transfer funds from your checking or savings account to the church’s bank account. If you are already using direct debit to make mortgage and car payments or to pay utility bills, then you know how it works. An authorization form for giving by direct debit is enclosed.
Credit & Debit Card Giving lets you make offerings automatically on a pre-determined schedule using a credit or debit card. Today, many families use debit cards as a convenient alternative to checks or use credit cards in a responsible manner to manage a wide range of obligations. An authorization form for giving by debit or credit card is enclosed.
