 Welcome to
E*Giving, helping our church
members manage their Stewardship online. This site will allow you to send
donations or other monies to the Presbyterian Church of Barrington
with a credit card or by electronic funds transfer (EFT) from your bank
account. Note that transactions are actually processed for us by our vendor,
National Church Supply. Their name will appear on your credit card or
bank statement. You will, however, receive an acknowledgement from the
church for your gift via email, along with routine giving statements from
the church periodically during the year.
Before you officially enter the site and begin the data
entry process, consider how you would like to donate: bank draft/EFT or
credit card. Note that the fees that PCB pays are higher for credit cards
(2.5% of the donation amount) than they are for transfers from bank accounts
(50 cents per transaction), so we do encourage use of bank EFT’s when
possible. Also, please note debit cards are not accepted due to the high
cost to the church.
With this information, you’re ready to begin. Though
the process is fairly straightforward, you might want to read the
instructions below:
printing them or keeping this page open in a separate
tab for reference as you navigate the site may be a good idea. Also feel
free to call the church office during normal business hours if you have
questions. All members of our administrative team (Bonnie, Kim, Patty and
Patricia) are familiar with the site and happy to assist you. If you run
into significant problems such as hitting “process” on a transaction that
you didn’t mean to send, email or call Patty Griffin, our accountant and
E-giving administrator, as soon as possible. There is usually a window of
several hours where a transaction can be cancelled.

Here are the basic steps you’ll take once you click on
the E*Giving icon
-
Click on
then fill in each of the fields requested in setting your profile. Know
that you can always go back to that profile and make changes when
necessary. Please remember to make a note of your user name and password
for future access.
Note: If this is a one time donation, you may skip this profile
process and click on “Guest Donation” and follow instructions on
entering your financial information. If you decide to use the site again
another time, you’ll have to re-enter this info.
-
After filling in all of the data for your profile,
click “Submit” and you will be back at the main menu. Now
it’s time to enter HOW to donate.
a. If you select to make one or more transfers from your
bank account, click on “View the authorization agreement”.
After you read through the legal document discussing how electronic bank
transfers/ACH debits are processed, check the box “I have read the
agreement……”, click on “I agree” then more disclosures will appear for
your review. At the bottom of the page, click on “back to the main
menu”, then from there “Go to my Organization’s Egiving Donation Page”
b. If you will pay by
Credit Card, click on “Go to
my Organization’s Egiving Donation Page”
-
Once you’re at the official PCB Donations page, you
will see an image of our church and our vision statement. Select a
category for your donation from the 5 current most utilized noted at
the top under general donations, or from one of the many listed under
“Special Giving Opportunities”. If you don’t see a category that fits
the nature of your gift, you may enter your own description by
typing over the word “other” (box near church photo). If there’s not
enough room to fully describe the nature of your gift, put as much as
you can in the box, then send an email with more information to
.
-
Scroll to the bottom on the page and select one of
the following options:
Donate the above funds now (one time occurrence)
Schedule the funds to be donated ONCE on a future date
Schedule the funds to be donated on a recurring schedule
-
The system will now walk you through several
screens verifying your selection and timing of donation: follow the
prompts, making changes as you need to. The final screen will ask you
for detail credit card or bank information. As an FYI on the bank info,
the 9 digit routing number for your bank can be found on the bottom of
one of your personal checks. It usually appears immediately before the
bank account number on the checks, followed by the check number.
-
The final screen allows you to double check all of
your info, modify it or cancel it and start over. Once you are satisfied
that everything is correct, click on “I Authorize this Transaction.” It
will be processed and you will receive immediate email notification that
it is in process. When it clears (one day for credit/debit cards, 3 days
for bank transfers) you will receive a 2nd email.
-
Please note that the financial information you
entered for this transaction is automatically saved to your user profile
for use on future donations. You may go into your user profile from the
main menu at any time to edit or delete that information, make changes
to your payment schedule, change your password and any other personal
data.
-
That’s all there is to it! Thank you for your
continued support of our faith community!
