Giving Faq

Scheduling a recurring gift is a great way to consistently put God first in your finances. Recurring giving is easy and takes just minutes to set up. Simply choose your schedule and amount to automate your giving today.

Recurring gifts can be modified or canceled at any time up to two days prior to the date they are scheduled. You can easily modify the timing or amount of your existing recurring gift or update your payment method through your online giving account. You will find step-by-step instructions here.

Yes. You may view and download prior years’ contribution statements via your online account. Your contribution statement for the current year will be downloadable online by the end of January.

For a one-time gift, you should receive an email confirmation of your gift within minutes. Debit and credit card gifts are generally processed immediately, while eCheck (ACH) gifts can take a couple of days to hit your account. For recurring gifts, you should see the transaction in your account on the day that you scheduled your payment. If your transaction failed for some reason, you should receive an email notification letting you know your transaction was not successfully processed.

Just like when you give by check, when you give online, we ask you to select the campus you attend. The primary purpose of the campus designations is for our records to track giving by campus. However, all gifts designated for One Fund go toward Fellowship’s general operating budget which provides the funding for all our campuses’ ministry.

We take very seriously the security of your personal information and data. No credit card or banking information is stored or maintained by Fellowship. Only the information necessary to complete your gift is tokenized (no readable data) before being transmitted for processing and then is stored in an encrypted format on secure industrial-grade servers. Further, the information you share with us will remain private and will never be given away or sold to third parties.

You will not pay any fees. The dollar amount that you select to give will be the amount reflected on your contribution statement. However, the church does incur fees for processing all online gifts. If you want to maximize the amount of your gift that goes to ministry, the best way to give online from your bank account rather than using a debit or credit card. To give this way, simply choose the Bank account option as your payment method whenever you make a one-time gift or set up a recurring giving schedule.

The most cost-effective method of giving to Fellowship is the “bank account” option via online giving. This method has the lowest processing costs which allows us to put more of your gift to work in ministry. The giving method which typically results in the least amount of your gift going to ministry is a gift via an American Express card.

Your giving supports all our efforts to see more and more lives changed by Christ. Your giving does matter and makes a significant difference in the many lives that are impacted by Fellowship whether it is through the weekly on-campus ministry activities or through our local and global missions efforts. We strive to be good stewards of all that God has given us so you can be confident in your giving.

Please allow five to seven days for all donations (online, weekend service, or by mail) to hit your account. If you do not see that your gift has gone through after one week, please contact us at [email protected] or 501.224.7171 so that we can investigate the issue.

Yes! Text giving is quick and easy once you set up your account and provide your preferred payment information. Just text the word GIVE to 501.406.2577 to get started. Or, if you already have an online giving account set up, you can set also set up text giving by logging into your account.

For your gift to be considered a tax-deductible gift under Internal Revenue Service rules, gifts are generally not refundable except in very limited circumstances. Please review our refund policy here and contact us if you have further questions.

All contributions must be received or postmarked by December 31 to be included in your contribution statement for that year. Any online contributions must also be initiated by and dated no later than December 31.

Charitable giving generally falls into two categories: cash giving and asset-based based giving. Cash giving includes gifts by cash, check, or debit card donations and you can find more information about those types of gifts throughout these FAQ. Asset-based gifts are noncash and include things like stocks & mutual funds, cryptocurrency, precious metals, or real estate. If you have questions about asset-based giving, please click here or contact us at [email protected] or 501.224-7171.
