Good Morning Church!
Over the past few weeks, the Finance Committee has been putting a lot of work into getting set up with a program called Tithe.ly, an online giving platform for churches. It is a powerful giving tool that allows anyone to give their regular tithes or even special offerings to First Baptist Church. We are excited to announce that this program is up and running!
Here’s my favorite feature: recurring giving. You can commit a regular amount to the church’s fund. “Set it and forget it.” It makes giving your regular tithe pretty hassle-free. You can set the payments, one-time or recurring, to come from any major credit/debit card or directly from your bank account.
As you can imagine, there is one small downside to this. Tithe.ly makes this platform for churches and takes a small percentage of each transaction to cover their own costs. So, normally, if you were to give, say, $50, the church would only receive $49.50. Luckily, there is an option to “cover the fees” when you make your payment.
This will make your payment slightly higher, say $50.50 for the example above, so that the church receives the full $50 you intended to give.
There is also a dropdown box to select which fund you would like your payment directed to (General Fund, Missions Fund, etc.) and a note/memo box for specifying other uses and situations. You can even create an account on tithe.ly with the “Remember Me” button so that all of your credit card or bank information gets loaded automatically. You can then log into the tithe.ly mobile app with this login info.
The whole process is 100% secure. Neither tithe.ly nor the FBC Mannington website store your credit card information. It’s all encrypted and secure.
You can access online giving at any time on any device by going to give.fbcmannington.org or by clicking “Give” on the upper right corner menu of our website (in the dropdown menu on our mobile site).
We hope you will take use of this convenient new way to support the ministries of our church. If you have any questions about this service, you can contact Pam Conaway or Pastor Ethan with any questions.
