Make a Donation to Calvary Church
Give Online
Calvary Church has online giving available to those who desire to use it. Calvary Church strongly teaches that living "debt free" is a worthy goal for all Christians. We offer online giving only as a convenience and not as a way to circumvent sound biblical money management principles or in any way to incur debt.
Users of online giving are responsible for setting up and controlling their online giving options themselves. You can designate where your giving goes (General Fund, Missions Fund, Restoration Project, etc.) and the frequency in which you give. You will be able to constantly track your online giving by logging in and viewing your history. You may give instantly by setting up an account, but to view your online contribution history, please allow one week for that information to be linked to your new account. Online records are updated weekly to reflect giving at church or through the mail.
Online giving is secure and tax deductible. Online giving allows you to set-up your giving using either a debit card or an automatic bank draft to your account. Credit cards are permitted but we ask that you consider the 3% added cost to the church.
You are free to give via the weekly offering in the worship service, by mailing your contribution in to the office, or online. We welcome you to give whatever God has called you to and however God has called you to.

What the Bible says:
Giving is a key element of spiritual formation and growth requiring two things of us:
Faith
Giving is an active expression of our faith. Giving demonstrates that God is our Provider and shows our confidence in His ability to supply our every need. Further, it’s an act of gratitude and dependence upon Him..
"'Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.'" Malachi 3:10 (NIV)
As we listen to God's voice and earnestly seek His will for our lives, His plan for giving will become obvious to each of us. In response, we can eagerly give, knowing that it pleases Him. Through our gifts, we prove faithful in the stewardship of all God has provided us, while He blesses us beyond what we can possibly imagine.
Faithfulness
Giving requires the highest standard of personal integrity and discipline. It is not a casual or when we happen to remember thing. In 2 Corinthian 8-9 the Bible teaches we are to give willingly, generously, and cheerfully. And our pattern should reflect a regular and systematic plan.
With these two principles in mind, we provide online giving as a simple way to prioritize and expedite your personal plan for giving.
What are the benefits?
It keeps first things first.
The Bible indicates giving is to be a "first" and not a last or leftover matter in our lives.
"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine." Proverbs 3:9-10 (NIV)
It is easy to let our intentions be compromised by the pressure of expenses and billing cycles.
It's consistent.
Have you ever forgotten your gift, left it at home or pledged to double it in the future? Have you had times where you have fallen behind because of travel or other schedule interruptions? Online giving provides a way to stay up to date with your budget.
It's convenient.
Through online giving, you expedite your gift, simplify our accounting, and strengthen our base of regular support.
