Giving Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to give online?

Yes. In many ways giving online is safer than writing a check because an electronic gift cannot be lost or stolen. The security of the system is continually managed by Pushpay.

What types of bank accounts can I give from?

You can give online from your checking account, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover. However, Christ Community Church incurs the least fees when you give directly from your checking account, so if possible, please us that option.

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. For a one-time contribution, you can designate that the contribution should be made immediately or, for both one-time and recurring contributions, you can schedule the contributions to come out of your bank account on the date(s) specified by you.

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 annually, quarterly, weekly, twice a month, every two weeks or once a month.

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 any time 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.

Does it matter which Internet browser I use?

No. Any browser will work.

Our Policies

Your information is held securely by Pushpay. This information will remain private and will never be given away to third parties, other than to process your scheduled contributions.

You can schedule new contributions at any time and can modify or cancel those contributions at any time prior to the date they are scheduled. Once the contribution has been processed, however, it cannot be cancelled. If you have any problems or questions related to this, please use the button below and contact us!

Are there any fees involved with giving online?

Not to you. You will not pay any fees with an online gift. In addition, online gifts are a more cost efficient way for the church to process donations.

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.

Can I designate my gift to a particular cause?

Yes, you can designate your gift to go towards our general operating fund or to particular funding initiatives like our Christmas and Easter Offerings.

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

Immediately after submitting your contribution, you will receive an e-mail verifying your contribution.

Can I use a debit card?

You can use a debit check card from Visa or MasterCard, but true debit cards are not accepted through the system due to the sensitivity of securely requesting a Personal Identification Number (PIN). ACH bank drafts can be used instead for true debits.

Can I review my donation history online?

Yes. The site will allow you to view the complete history of your contributions, given either online or otherwise. For more information, see our security policy.

Will I still receive regular contribution statements from the church?

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

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