First Christian Church invites you to consider our online giving program as a way to automate your regular Private Promise giving to the church.
Online giving offers convenience for you and it’s a way of giving consistently to the church. It reduces both volunteer and staff time preparing and recording deposits, and it reduces the likelihood of errors. You can now give even when you’re not able to attend services.
(By clicking on the above link, you are leaving the First Christian Church Wadsworth website and going to a website hosted by Vanco Services, LLC. Vanco is the service provider; personal and financial data is stored and processed via their secure servers.)
The church pays a small fee for the service and a small processing fee. It costs you nothing. You may contribute to the church’s costs when you enroll like you did to offset the cost of your offering envelopes.
It is certainly less risky than writing checks or bringing cash to church. After much research the church chose Vanco Services to process the electronic donations. Vanco is an established and highly-regarded company that processes contributions for more than 11,000 churches and nonprofit organizations. Contributions are transferred through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. That is the same network already used by families to make mortgage and utility payments. Records of your bank and credit card account numbers are securely kept by Vanco.
The church will continue to prepare your quarterly statements that will be mailed or, it is suggested that you sign up to have them emailed to you. Your bank statement will show an itemized list of electronic transactions. You may also go online at any time to keep track of your gifts during the year and make any adjustments to future giving.
Begin as you would to set up an Online account. Your profile from Electronic Giving will automatically transfer to your new Online account. We ask that everyone who has a computer and is giving through Electronic Giving move to Online Giving.
