Idlewild
Baptist Church has online giving available to those who desire to
use it. Idlewild strongly teaches that living "debt free" is a worthy
goal for all Christians. We offer online giving only as a convenience and not as a way to circumvent sound biblical money management principles or in any way to incur debt. Users
of online giving are responsible for setting up and controlling
their online giving options themselves. They can designate where their
giving goes (general fund, building program, missions, etc.) and the
frequency in which they give. They will be able
to constantly track their online giving by logging in and viewing their
history. Note online records will not reflect any manual
giving. Online giving is secure and tax deductible. Online giving allows you to set-up your giving using either a debit card or an automatic bank draft to your account. Credit cards are not permitted.
You
are free to give via the weekly offering in the worship service, by
mailing your contribution in to the office, or now by the internet and
we welcome you to give whatever God has called you to, however God has
called you to. If you do give online, you may desire to place an
empty offering envelope in the offering plate. Simply write on the
front of the envelope "Give online." There is no need to write your
giving amounts on this envelope if you give online. To set-up your account and begin giving online or to manage your account, click here.
Benefits of online giving:
-
You can prioritize giving in your budget. The
Bible indicates giving is to be a "first" and not a last or leftover
matter in my life. Read Proverbs 3:9-10. It is easy to let our
standards and intentions be compromised by the press of expenses and
billing cycles. With online giving, your giving is done automatically.
-
You can increase your faithfulness. Have
you ever forgotten your gift, left it at home or pledged to double it
in the future? Have you had times where you have fallen behind because
of travel and other schedule interruptions? Online giving provides a
way to strengthen your faithfulness.
-
You can help your church. Through online giving, you expedite your gift, simplify our accounting, and strengthen our base of regular support.
-
You can encourage faith and faithfulness in the lives of fellow believers. As
you plan and prioritize your giving, you will lead the way for others
to grow and mature in their spiritual stewardship. Being a forerunner
in this new area of planned giving, you can provide personal testimony
and example for others to follow.
