Online giving is not replacing any of the traditional ways we already give, but is an additional option to those who prefer to make their donations by computer, cell phone, or other mobile device. College Street is using a church donation system provided by Ministry Brands Amplify (formerly EasyTithe) corporation. Ministry Brands Amplify is church specific and is used by hundreds of churches across the nation.
You can make a regularly scheduled contribution or you can specify recurring donations. You can specify whether the contribution should go to the general budget or to designated categories. A credit card (MasterCard, Visa, or Discover) or a debit card can be used, as well as a regular checking account. The process is secure and confidential and you will have continual access to your giving records.
What is Online Giving?
Online Giving is a direct payment program whereby your contribution is debited automatically from your checking, savings, or credit card account into your church's bank account.
What are the advantages of Online Giving?
Aside from being convenient, it makes it easier to fulfill stewardship commitments, even when you are unable to attend church. It can help your consistency and faithfulness in giving. Also, it eliminates the need to bring cash or to write checks to church. Also, a complete record of your giving is available to you online 24 hours per day.
Is Online Giving secure?
Yes, all account information you enter is secure. No one has access to your data unless authorized by you. Also, when you login, look for a little "locked padlock" icon in your browser's address bar. Ministry Brands Amplify is a PCI Compliant Class 1 service provider. PCI, or PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It was developed by the major credit card companies (Visa, MasterCard, etc…) as a guideline to help organizations that process card payments prevent credit card fraud, hacking and various other security vulnerabilities and threats.
