Online Giving at Crossroads Community Church

Those who call Crossroads their "home church" regularly give to the Lord as a part of their walk with Him.

In the Bible, Malachi 3:10 says, " 'Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try me now in this,' says the Lord of hosts, 'If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,' says the Lord of hosts; 'And all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land,' says the Lord of hosts."

The word "tithe" means "tenth," and we give 10% of our income back to the Lord as a statement of worship and blessing, honoring God for who He is and all He has done. Many of us also give offerings. Offerings are gifts that we give above and beyond our tithes, and these gifts allow ministries to flourish, touching lives and making an impact on our community for Jesus.

In today's busy world, giving online is a common, safe, and easy way to give tithes and offerings. The online giving system we use is simple and secure, helping you to give with either a one-time contribution or a recurring contribution.

Praise God for His work in our lives, and our desire to give back to him!

Q: Are there any fees involved with giving online?

No, you will not pay any fees when giving online. Not only is it free for you to use, online gifts are a more cost efficient method for the church to process donations.

Q: There is an option to “Create an Account” on the giving page. What are the advantages of creating an account?
Creating an account gives you the ability to view your online giving history, set up recurring gifts, save payment profiles (which allows your payment information to be saved so you won't have to enter it every time you wish to make an online gift), and the ability to login quickly with a password.

Q: Can I make a one-time contribution?

Yes. Our system allows you to make a one-time contribution or set up a recurring contribution. For a one-time contribution, you can designate that the contribution should be made immediately or, for both one-time and recurring contributions, you can schedule the contributions to come out of your chosen account on the date(s) specified by you.

Q: If I want to setup a recurring gift, what are my options for scheduling?

For recurring gifts, you have the option of giving once a week, once every two weeks, once a month, twice a month or once a quarter.

Q: Can I change my personal information or the amount or the frequency of my gift once I have set it up?

Yes. You can change or cancel your contribution at any time before the date of your next contribution. Simply log into the system using your user name and password that is provided when you first create your online giving account, and make the necessary changes.

Q: Can I review my donation history online?

Yes. After setting up an account, the online giving site allows you to view the history of your online giving. Please note that any contributions you make with a regular check or cash will not be reflected on your online record and therefore you should not use your online giving history for tax purposes. We will include your online giving in your yearly contributions statement, which will include all gifts to the church.

Q: When will contributions be taken from my account?
Contributions will be taken from your specified account within 48 business hours of the date you requested, and will be deposited directly into the church’s bank account. This time-frame allows time for the contribution to process through your bank and the church’s bank. If the date of your contribution falls on a weekend or a holiday, the transaction will be initiated on the next banking day.

Q: How will I know that I set up my gift/account correctly?

Immediately after submitting your contribution, you will receive an e-mail confirmation from our online service provider – SimpleGive.

Q: Does it matter which Internet browser I use?

No. Any browser will work.
