To set up a recurring or one-time donation online, START HERE. By setting up a password-protected personal profile, you may log in at any time to make changes or view your personal giving history. If you prefer, you can make a one-time donation without setting up a profile.

You may also instead download and print this electronic giving authorization form and turn it in to the office.

Aldersgate has introduced an electronic option for making regular offerings. Contributions will be debited automatically from your checking or savings account. This e-giving program offers convenience for you, and much-needed donation consistency for our congregation.

If you are currently giving on a weekly basis, you will no longer need to write out 52 checks a year or prepare 52 envelopes. And, when travel, illness or other circumstances prevent you from attending services, your weekly offerings will continue on an uninterrupted basis.

e.service® Electronic Funds Transfer uses the same method to transfer funds via the Automatic Clearing House (ACH) network that many employers and the Social Security office use to transfer funds, and that many people use to make mortgage or utility bill payments.

We hope you will consider using this method for giving to your church home.
