How do I give to Hope City Church?
There are several ways to give to Hope City Church.
By Cash or Check. You are welcome to contribute these gifts during the offering time at our Sunday services or you may take an offering envelope home and mail your gift to the office at any time. These transactions are typically processed on the next business day after Sunday service.
By Bank Processed Check. Using bank checks or "Bill Pay" through your bank or credit union offers consistency and convenience while helping Hope City Church stay on track with our year-round budget and avoid credit card processing fees. Most banks/CU's offer this kind of service to their customers for free online. You can set it up to your preferences (one-time, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.) and Hope receives a bank processed check in the mail. Please be sure to include your name as the sender or use it as your "account number" with Hope since some banks/CU's do not include any account holder information for privacy.
By Card or ACH. Click GIVE and set-up a one-time or recurring gift using your credit/debit card (1.9% fee per transaction) or through your bank account (.25 fee per transaction).
What is the preferred way of giving to Hope City Church?
Using bank processed checks is our preferred way for contributors to give. Hope City Church pays the least amount of processing fees and overhead with this method.
Is it safe to use my bank account number or debit/credit card?
Yes. Hope City Church takes the safety and security of your information very seriously. No credit card or banking information is kept beyond initializing your authorized gift. All hard copies of giving records are stored securely with limited access and are only kept for the legally required time frame before being shredded. Hope is also PCI compliant and is tested quarterly to ensure the utmost security.
If you have any other questions about giving, please feel free to contact the church office at 909-542-0505 or office@hope-citychurch.com
