GIVING
Giving to others is how we spread His love.
The Bible teaches that giving is a part of growing in our faith. It is a response to God’s good gifts to us, and it is an act of worship toward Him.
If you are visiting the First Baptist Church of Carencro website, but First Baptist Church of Carencro is not your church home, we do not expect you to give. There is no obligation to give at any of our worship services. However, if First Baptist Church of Carencro is your church home, or if the Lord has touched your heart about supporting His work here at First Baptist Church of Carencro, we hope this tool will help you to abound in the grace of giving.
"Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also." (2 Corinthians 8:7)
ONLINE GIVING FAQ
Giving is in the very heart of what First Baptist Church of Carencro is all about. Here are some additional details for you to consider.
Can I schedule recurring donations?
Yes, most churches that accept online donations allow you to set up recurring contributions. You can usually do this through their website or donation platform by selecting an option like “Make this a recurring gift” or “Set up automatic donations.” You’ll then choose the frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.) and the payment method.
Will I still receive a contribution statement?
Yes, you will still receive a contribution statement. Churches typically provide these annually, summarizing all your donations—whether one-time or recurring—for tax and record-keeping purposes. Many churches send them by email or mail, and some also make them available through their online giving system
What if I change banks?
If you change banks, you’ll need to update your payment information for your recurring donations. Log in to your online giving platform or contact the church office to update your bank account or card details. This ensures your scheduled donations continue without interruption. If the old account is closed before you update the information, future donations may fail to process until the new details are added.
Is online giving secure?
Yes, online giving is secure when processed through reputable platforms. Most churches use systems that encrypt your financial information and comply with strict security standards, such as PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance. These measures protect your data during transmission and storage.
For added safety, always make sure you’re donating through your church’s official website or trusted giving app, and look for “https://” in the web address, which indicates a secure connection.
