Give

"But just as you excel in everything… see that you also excel in this grace of giving."
-2 Corinthians 8:7

GIVE ON-LINE

There are several benefits to online giving for both you and our church.  Some of them are. . .

• Faithfully Honoring God  - When you sign up to give online you are deciding in advance to faithfully give. God always blesses that kind of faith! The Bible teaches that we are to honor God with the “First Fruits” of our labor (Proverbs 3:9). By setting up a recurring contribution that is scheduled to come out of your account on the day you specify, you can ensure that your First Fruits are faithfully given back to God.
• Simplicity – You won’t have to remember whether you gave this month or send in an offering by mail when you’re on a trip.
• Security – We utilize an encrypted secure website for your online records. Online giving is more secure than giving with a check or cash because an electronic gift can’t be lost or stolen.
• Focus – Instead of having to worry about writing a check and filling out an envelope during the service, you can be fully focused on the worship service, knowing that you have already given your offering.
• Helping Coffee Creek – Online giving is more cost effective for our church to process, and it makes our record keeping much easier.

TITHES AND OFFERINGS

Financial giving at Coffee Creek can generally be divided into two categories: tithes and offerings. The Bible teaches us that we worship the Lord with our tithe, which is ten percent of our income contributed to the church on a regular basis. When we feel led to give over and above our tithe, we do so as an offering.

STEWARDSHIP

Everything we do at Coffee Creek Baptist Church is funded solely by God's provision through the tithes and offerings of faithful Coffee Creek members and attenders. At Coffee Creek we honor God's provision by exercising wise and faithful stewardship, ethical business practices, and full accountability so that the financial integrity of our church remains beyond reproach.

Our mission is facilitated through our system of internal controls over financial reporting and our internal budgeting and reporting processes.

Members of Coffee Creek Baptist Church may request a copy of our most recent financial statements or ask general questions about our financial practices at any time by contacting our treasurer.

A NOTE ABOUT CREDIT CARDS

While we allow the use of credit cards for tithes and offerings, we still strongly encourage the use of electronic funds transfer (EFT) rather than credit card for two primary reasons:

• Although many pay off their credit cards each month, many also do not.  We do not want to encourage someone to go into debt and pay interest on gifts given to the church.
   
• With electronic transfer, your entire gift goes to the church. When using a credit card, as much as 2.5% of your gift can go to the credit card company.

Once the contribution has been processed, however, it cannot be cancelled. If you have any problems or questions related to this, please contact us.
