Is my online giving secure?

Yes. Every transaction is encrypted with the same industry-standard encryption trusted for online commerce with world-class financial organizations. Our online giving option can be set up through ACH or a card. Stripe is the company Church Center uses for the transaction.

Can I use an e-check for my donation?

Yes! In fact it’s the best way to give so that Life Church Vineyard can avoid paying a 2-4% transaction fee for every credit card transaction. When you are entering your donation, select “Bank Account” and follow the instructions on entering your information.

What are other ways to give and tax advantages to giving

Knowing about gift options can help increase your impact. If you are an IRA owner age 70 or over, you can make a gift through a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA that counts toward your RMD if one is due, and you pay no tax on the distribution. If you own appreciated stock you have held over one year, you can make a gift of the stock and avoid all capital gains tax on the appreciation. As you consider future gifts, feel free to contact us about tax-wise ways to support our church family. Your gift helps Life Church Vineyard make the most impact in our community.
