Online Giving

Why Give?
At Living Water Baptist Church, we believe that one of the many ways to honor God is through giving. Biblical stewardship is  a generous response of loving obedience that constitutes an essential part of our worship of God (2 Corinthians 9:6-7). Giving is simply a way of giving back a portion of what God has already given us. At Living Water Baptist Church we believe that we are to be good managers of the money entrusted to us. Through your giving, we are able to do ministry both inside and outside our walls.

Can I set up recurring gifts?
Yes! That is one of the many perks of online giving! You have the option of giving a one time donation or setting up a recurring gift (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc) which makes tithing and giving much more convenient.  If you up a recurring gift without creating an account, you can edit that gift by clicking the link in their last email confirmation or receipt.
 
Can I adjust my online giving?
Yes. There are a few different ways a recurring gift can be managed. (1) You will receive an email whenever their gift is processed. In that email there is a link that allows them to manage your recurring gift. This is also true of the reminder email they receive a week beforehand. (2) On every donation form, there is a link that says “Update recurring gift.” When you click on this link, you are able to request an email giving them access to their recurring transactions. (3) If you created an account and setup their recurring gift within it, then you are able to edit all of their recurring gifts by logging into your account. You have the ability to change dates, payment method, amounts and designations after logging in. 
 
What forms of payment do you take online?
We can accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and ACH (e-check). ACH is a transaction in which someone donates directly from their bank account by inputting their account and routing number. Checking accounts are recommended as most savings accounts do not allow ACH transactions.
