Online Giving

At Faithbridge, we call our offering “Giving Back to God.”  We know that all belongs to Him and we are just stewards. Faithbridge offers several ways for you to financially support the church. We give because we love God and want to see His Kingdom expanded and our community served.
 
1. Giving Electronically
If you would like to be a consistent giver at Faithbridge, consider contributing electronically.  It is a convenient way to give systematically each month.  According to your specifications, Faithbridge will charge your checking account or debit/credit card and simply transfer you gift to the church account.  

Give On-line Now Clicking on this link will connect you to SignUsUs, a company contracted by Faithbridge to manage online transactions. You will be asked to provide standard routing data. Information entered on the SignUsUp website has the highest level of encryption for security purposes.

2. Gifts of Cash or Check
The most common way to give is to simply make a check payable to Faithbridge Church.  Gifts of cash and check can be included in the offering basket during the Giving Back to God portion of our Sunday service.  Checks can also be mailed to the church office, attention Accounting.  Please specify on your check which fund your contribution is intended to support. 
  • Tithe/Offering
  • Building Campaign
  • Missions (Bridging)
If submitting cash, please include your complete name and address with your contribution. Be sure to write legibly. This is the only way that we can match you with your donation.
 
3. Non-Cash Giving
Many people have stock worth more than they paid for it. This may be an opportunity for you to give appreciated assets, offering these benefits:
  • You avoid paying capital gain taxes,
  • You receive an income tax deduction based on the current stock value instead of the cost basis, and
  • You invest in people’s lives by giving to your church (or other charitable organizations).
4. Employer Gift Matching Programs
Some employers will match charitable gifts, meaning that your gift will count even more. Check with your employer if you think this option applies to you.
