A Sample Offering Envelope

Can I designate to specific line items from the budget?

Giving cannot be designated for a specific line item in any fund.

Why should I use an offering envelope?

Use an offering envelope with your FAITH offering envelope # on it to ensure that you receive a receipt to verify your charitable contributions at the end of the year.

How do I get a supply of offering envelopes?

Envelopes are available in the church lobby.  Drop a note in the offering box on Sunday and someone will contact you with your assigned number.  A list of offering envelope number assignments is posted on the bulletin board outside the church office.

What are some ways to give to Faith Church?

  1. Send an e-check and set it up as a recurring payment.
    If you do on-line banking, you can list Faith Church as a payee and set your account to issue a check to Faith Church on a recurring basis.  Use the memo field to designate contributions to (Local Mission Fund; Global Mission Fund; Benevolent Fund).

  2. Drop cash in the offering box on Sunday.
    All undesignated giving goes to the Local Mission Fund to support the ministries of Faith Church.  To designate funds use an offering envelope.

  3. Mail an offering envelope to the church office.
    This will give you the opportunity to designate your offering to one of the following areas: The Local Mission Fund; The Global Mission Fund; The Benevolent Fund.

  4. On-line giving through www.TryFaith.com.  Use the form in the right-hand column of this page.  If you have been assigned an envelope number, please use that number for assisting in accurate recording.  Enter a dollar amount to each ministry as you desire, and if you are giving to a special project, replace "<special>" with the name of the project, and enter the amount.  Click the PayPal button when the form is complete.  You will be taken to a secure PayPal web page where you can select to use either your personal PayPal account, or a credit card, or your bank debit card.  You can print a copy of your receipt and PayPal will email you a copy of your transaction.
