Online Giving
We have an exciting addition to our web presence: the ability to give online. Now you can make a gift or pay an activity registration fee anytime from anywhere you have web access. Here is the link – (Give) it a look. You can find this link in the welcome page of our website and on the “About Us” page under Resources.
Here are some things you should know about online giving.
- You can make a onetime gift or a recurring gift
- You can give to the General Fund or any Designated Fund
- You can set up an account and then you will have access to your online giving history anytime you want
- You can pay for any church activity fee, simply use the ‘Other’ category and designate what the payment is for
- You can make a gift from your credit card or an Electronic Transfer from your bank account. Please note: The fees we pay for this activity are significantly less for electronic transfers than for Credit Card gifts and you have the option of including an additional amount to cover the fee of a credit card gift if you so choose.
Summer Giving
Please consider scheduling your giving to Good Sam through an automated payment method. My family has been using Bill Pay at our bank to make our church contributions for some time now and have just switched to electronic transfers through the website. This is the most efficient method for the church, for us personally and for the bank too. No postage, envelopes, or checks and the money is deposited directly into the church’s account.
Simply Giving is another method of making a recurring gift. It is a scheduled and preauthorized agreement to electronically debit your account for a gift to Good Sam. Talk to Rich S. if you would like to explore this option.
Thank you for all your faithful participation in life and ministry at Good Sam. Your consistent giving while you are away for Summer Holiday is another way you can support our work and mission together.
Online Giving and the new Pew Cards
In the pews now, you may notice a new laminated pew card for online giving. This card has two purposes. First, if you are making your offering gifts to Good Sam through bill pay, Simply Giving or another automated process, we invite you to use this card and place it in the offering place as it is passed. It will give you a physical activity in worship to add to the quiet behind the scene activity of your automated giving. Second, notice the QR code on the back of the card. This Quick Response code can take you directly to our website giving page where you can make an online donation. You can do this anytime, from anywhere, but we invite you to make use of it in worship if it is convenient for you. Give it a try. You can also place this card in the offering plate to acknowledge the gift in a physical way. If nothing else, your pew neighbors will be impressed that you know what to do with that new pew card.
