Online Giving
eGiving . . .
Franklin First UMC is now offering the congregation the ability to make their tithes/contributions by using eGiving. eGiving is an electronic payment mechanism much like online Bill Pay with your bank.
Franklin First UMC eGiving allows members to make their tithes/contributions to the church’s Operating and/or Legacy of Faith accounts directly from their personal checking or savings account, or by using their debit card. There is no cost to you to do this. It is easy to use and there are simple instructions on the eGiving link: Franklin First UMC eGiving, to walk you through the process.
Why eGiving?
eGiving provides members the ability to make their pledges/contributions at their discretion. At any time or place whether you are on vacation, traveling on business, or unable to attend church for some reason but want to make your contribution. eGiving is a convenient, safe and secure way for our members to make contributions to the church. The funds are deposited immediately to the church bank account.
ACH – Automatic Funds Transfer: Giving Made Easier
We want to help make it easier to give to the church whether you miss a Sunday, go on vacation or whatever the reason. In an effort to make tithing/giving to the church easier, we want to remind you that we accept ACH. ACH allows church members to contribute to the church by means of a transfer directly from their checking or savings account to the church account. This can be done once or twice a month, on the 1st and/or 15th of each month. There is no set-up fee or monthly service fees.
Why ACH?
ACH provides a safe, reliable, timely way of giving to the church. It makes it easier for the participant as there is no worry or fuss with checks or cash. With ACH, your tithing/giving is transferred directly from your account and deposited into the church’s account with your name/ID credited for the tithe. ACH is important to the church as it affords us a standard, reliable source of funds with which to operate the church’s ministries and programs.
To sign up for ACH, complete these ACH application forms and the church office Business Manager will set this up with your local bank.
