Clicking the link above will open the St. John’s giving interface (through a service called Church Center.) Once there, follow the prompts to set up or log in to your user account. You can then choose whether to give through a credit card or bank transfer. You may also choose to give a one-time gift or set up a recurring gift.

The vendor we use to process online payments charges a small fee for every gift. Such fees would be taken out of the amount you choose to give.

Gifts charged to a credit card incur a flat $0.30 fee as well as a 3% processing fee.  (A $200.00 gift charged to a credit card would result in St. John’s receiving $193.70)

Bank account transfers incur a flat fee of $0.30 with no additional processing fee.  (A $200.00 gift routed from a bank account would result in, St. John’s receiving $199.70)

Giving via bank transfer will result in fewer fees and more of your gift going to St. John’s.‍

As long as that fund is the general fund, yes! Due to the complexity of tracking individual donations earmarked for certain spending categories, all online giving at St. John’s will be funneled to the general fund.

Yes, online giving is automatically tracked and recorded on Church Center. You can view that information at any time in your Church Center account, and a year-end summary will be made available to givers.
