Today people are willing to have money transferred from their bank accounts to pay bills, insurance premiums, mortgages, fitness memberships and more. Online giving provides the same convenience for those who want to faithfully and consistently make a financial tithe or gift to the church. It also enables one to give when they miss a weekend service due to travel or illness.

On-line giving is not a replacement for our regular worship service offerings. Rather, it is an additional, convenient method to submit your regular offering. While we accept offerings via credit cards, we strongly suggest that no one give out of debt or use a credit card unless it is paid off every month.

Yes. CUMC uses an established third-party vendor as a clearing house to transfer funds to our bank. Information submitted online is protected by physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable federal and state regulations, including firewalls and data encryption.

Yes, you can absolutely designate your gift to missions. Write in your comment line that you are donating to missions if you are donating in service or select 2022 Missions as your option for online giving. We will make sure your funds are allocated properly. 

Yes. To indicate your desired fund allocation, please select the appropriate fund and, if applicable, the “drop down” options on the online giving page.

Yes. You can set up a recurring gift on the online giving page by selecting a type of recurring transaction in the Donation Frequency box.

Each type of on-line giving incurs some kind of fee. These fees will be absorbed by CUMC and not your account. Automatic withdrawals (ACH) incur a flat fee that is less than the percentage fee incurred with credit/debit card transactions. Therefore, automatic transfers (ACH) are the preferred method of online giving, as this method costs less for CUMC to process.  An option to cover the credit card/debit card fees for each gift will be provided and will be also considered as part of your gift.

While not required, setting up an account profile is highly recommended. Account profiles allow you to log-in and donate with the convenience of not having to enter all of your information in each time. Additionally, you can track your online giving through reports in your profile settings. When setting up your profile, you'll need to enter your email address and create a password. For safety, it is recommended that your password:

-Must be at least 8 characters long

-Must contain at least one number and one letter

-Cannot be identical to your first name, last name, or email address

-Cannot be reused

Can guests/non-members make gifts to CUMC through online giving?

Yes, you are not required to create a profile or log-in, however you will need to fill in your name, address and financial information.
