Online Giving

Online Giving Overview


Whether you'd like to give a single gift, schedule ongoing donations, or view your giving history, you can do it all online - it's quick, easy, and secure.
 
Currently you can use your Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card.  In following Biblical principles for managing our money, Palm Valley Church does not encourage using credit cards in a way that increases your consumer debt.

Online Giving Frequent Questions

Which account do I choose?
When you give online, you'll see accounts for our General Fund and our Land Fund. Choose General Fund for your tithe, as well as any gifts to support the many ministries of the church. Or you may choose the Land Fund to give toward the building of our new campus at I-10 & Verrado Way.

How long will it take for the transaction to post to my account?
You should receive a confirmation message from the Online Giving page indicating that your contribution was successful. This starts the transaction processing, and your account should be debited for the amount you choose within 3 business (banking) days.  For more information on how transactions are processed, please read the section below "How Online Giving Works".

Can I schedule recurring donations?
Yes, you can specify whether you want your contribution made one time, weekly, twice per month, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. You can set up as many schedules as you would like, so it is possible to give a monthly gift as well as a weekly one.

Will I still receive a contribution statement?
Yes, we will mail your year-end giving statement directly to your home address.

What if I change credit cards or want to adjust the date or amount of a contribution?
You can edit or delete a scheduled contribution at anytime, including the credit card, date, frequency and amount.

Is online giving secure?
We've taken steps to ensure that the giving process is safe and secure from beginning to end. All of your giving data is secured by SSL encryption. SSL is an acronym for "Secure Socket Layer", a security protocol that provides communications privacy over the Internet. It is the same technology used by banks and e-commerce companies such as Amazon.com to keep your information safe and secure during transactions.

Who do I talk to if I have more questions?
Contact the church office at 623-536-2106 and we'll be glad to answer any other questions you may have.



How Online Giving Works

All information is transmitted securely through Fellowship One Gateway and Cybersource payment processing.  The credit/debit information is transferred in the following manner:

1. Web user makes an online contribution.

2. Information is securely transferred to CyberSource via a secure, encrypted messaging protocol (SCMP). CyberSource receives order information and performs requested services.

3. CyberSource formats the transaction detail appropriately and securely routes the transaction authorization request through its payment gateway to be processed.

4. The transaction is then routed to the issuing bank (your bank/card company) to request transaction authorization.

5. The transaction is authorized or declined by the issuing bank or credit card company.

6. Issuing bank approves transfer of money to Palm Valley Church bank account.

7. NOTE: The contribution can sometimes take 2-3 business days to post to your bank account/credit card company.  You may see an initial "Pending" charge on your account until the contirbution is processed.
