Q. Why give online?

A.  Online giving is just another method of providing your offering to the Lord.  We understand there are times when you will be away, and in this era of online banking, automatic bank withdrawals, and bill pay, this is a convenience many folks find to make their financial management simpler.

 

Q. How safe is online giving?

A. In many ways, giving online is safer than writing a check, because an electronic gift cannot be lost or stolen.  The Watters Road Church of Christ processes all online giving through PayPal.

We have a strict privacy policy that ensures your information is kept secure.  Please help us keep your information safe by protecting your login information. Access to sensitive personal and financial information can be gained by letting someone else use your account or by leaving the information for someone else to see.
