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.

Records of your bank and credit card account numbers are securely kept by Vanco.
