FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT GIVING ONLINE
Q: Why should I give online?
It's a personal preference, but here are a few of the benefits we hear frequently.
- It's a step of faith...deciding in advance to give faithfully.
- It helps simplify life...no trying to remember whether or not you've given this month.
- It allows you to give consistently...even when you're not at church.
- It allows you to focus on the service when you're at church...no more digging for a pen in the dark.
Q: What payment processor do you use?
We use the most trusted and well known debit/ credit card processor online, PayPal.
Q: How do I give online?
Click the "Give Online" link above and follow the prompts to create an account and set up your contribution, or just do a one time contribution.
Q: Is your online giving located on a secure server?
Yes. PayPal uses the highest form of security within their own site, which is powered by Trust-e.
Q: I clicked the "Give Online" button and nothing happens.
When you click Online Giving, a new browser window is opened. If you are using a pop-up blocker such as the Google Toolbar, Norton Internet Security, or Pop-Up Stopper, the window will not open. Most tools will allow you to permit pop-ups on a specific web site. In order to use the Giving area, you will need to allow pop-ups within NorthgatePentecostals.com.
Q: When would this automatic contribution be charged to my account?
On the signup screens, you can specify whether you want your contribution made one time, weekly, every other week (bi-weekly), twice per month (1st and the 15th), monthly, quarterly, or yearly. You can set up as many schedules as you would like, so it is possible to give a monthly gift as well as a weekly one.
Q: Can I test this by giving one time?
Yes. A one time contributuon is available.
Q: How can I keep a record of the amount I have contributed?
At any time you can view your record of "online" giving by viewing the Payment History box, if you have created a PayPal account. This will provide each donation you made, when you made it, and a year-to-date total. We also send year end statements directly to your home address.
Q: Can I give to the Building Fund?
Yes. Just select "Building Fund" when making your donation.
Q: How do I participate in the weekly offering if my contribution is automatically processed online?
You can still participate in the offering during the service by reflecting on the message of the song or media that is being presented.
Q: Can I use my debit card or credit card?
Yes, as long as it's MasterCard or Visa.
Q: Can I use an electronic check?
No.
Q: Who do I talk to if I have more questions?
Contact our Finance Department at the church office 817-416-6331, and we'll be glad to answer any other questions you may have.
