2009 - 2010  Stewardship Campaign
God has been faithful to us; no matter what is going on in the world, the words of Habakkuk ring true. But this also means that we must be faithful to him; the Lord being our strength means we can give. It's a way of honoring and trusting and obeying him. It's also a way of thanking him. Please prayerfully consider your giving and fill out the form below to make your pledge:

Giving Electronically at Eastminster

Q.  What is this?
A.  This is a direct payment program whereby your contribution is debited automatically from your checking or savings account.

Q.  What are the advantages of giving electronically?
A.  It makes it easy to fulfill stewardship commitments, even when you can’t attend church.  You never have to bring cash or checks to church.  Giving electronically also helps the church save money and improve its budget.

Q.  How are my contributions automatically deducted from my account?
A.  Once you complete and sign an authorization form and return it to the church Business Administrator, the confidential contribution amount you specify will automatically be transferred from your bank account to the church’s bank account.

Q.  When will my contribution be deducted from my account?
A.  Your electronic contribution will be debited on the date you specify on the form.

Q.  If I do not write checks, how do I keep my checkbook balance straight?
A.  Since your contribution is made at a pre-established time, you simply record it in your check register on the appropriate date.  Electronic contributions are recorded for you on your bank statement.
 
Q.  Without a canceled check, how can I prove I made my contribution?
A.  Your bank statement gives you an itemized list of electronic transactions.  It is your proof of contributions.

Q.  What if I change bank accounts?
A.  Notify the church and we will give you a new authorization to complete.

Q.  Is electronic giving risky?
A.  It’s less risky than writing checks or bringing cash to church.  Electronic contributions cannot be lost, stolen or destroyed and have an extremely high rate of accuracy.

Q.  What if I try electronic giving and don’t like it?
A.  You can cancel your authorization by notifying the church at any time.

Q.  How do I sign up for it?
