Simply Giving
Simply Giving is a program that allows you to support the work of the church through a semi-monthly or monthly electronic transfer of funds. In fact, many people today handle some or all of their finances in this manner. Signing up for Simply Giving is quick and easy, and it can be started or stopped at any time.

But perhaps its greatest advantage is consistency in giving. During a typical year all of us miss worship for reasons of sickness, business, vacations, or visits to other churches. But Simply Giving allows you to give consistently each week all year long whether you are here or not. It is a safe, simple, no hassle way to give and many have found it very much to their liking.
