If you go up to the average 28 year old and ask them to write you a check for something, what would happen? Well, in most cases, they would say something like, “Checks?, I don’t use checks.” But the truth is – – whether someone is 28, 38, 58, or 78 – fewer and fewer people are using checks and instead are using various forms of electronic options for all of their financial and giving transactions. Consider using our online giving – you will probably do a better job of honoring God with the money you earn by planning your giving instead of being spontaneous on Sundays.

F&Q About Online Giving:

• What if I change credit cards or want to adjust the date or amount of a contribution? You can edit or delete a scheduled contribution at anytime, including the credit card, date, frequency and amount.
• Can I schedule recurring donations? Yes, you can specify whether you want your contribution made one time, weekly, twice per month, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. You can set up as many schedules as you would like, so it is possible to give a monthly gift as well as a weekly one.
• Will I still receive a contribution statement? Yes, we will mail your year-end giving statement directly to your home address. However, after you create your login, you may print your giving statement any time you wish.
• Is online giving secure? We’ve taken steps to ensure that the giving process is safe and secure from beginning to end. All of your giving data is secured by SSL encryption. SSL is an acronym for “Secure Socket Layer”, a security protocol that provides communications privacy over the Internet. It is the same technology used by banks and e-commerce companies such as Amazon.com to keep your information safe and secure during transactions.

Gifts of Stock

Gifts of appreciated securities are a smart and simple way to maximize the effectiveness of your charitable giving. If stocks or mutual funds* you’ve held for more than a year have increased in value, you may want to consider using these assets — rather than cash — to fund your giving. By transferring ownership of your long-term stock to Life Pointe Church you make a gift to support the ministry, avoid the capital gains tax you would pay if the stock were sold, and you may claim a charitable income tax deduction for the current fair market value of the asset.

*Does not apply to tax-exempt retirement plans (e.g., IRAs, 401(k)s, etc.)

Mutual Fund Transfers: These transfers can be complicated. Please call Life Pointe Church to find out how to transfer mutual funds.

Stock Transfers:

• DTC Transfer – If you have your shares of stock in a brokerage account this is a convenient way to transfer your securities. Simply instruct your broker to electronically transfer your securities out of your account into Life Pointe Church’s account and provide the appropriate account information below and please notify Life Pointe Church:
