    Donate

    1. GIVE — Enter the amount you wish to give.
    2. TO — Select which fund(s) you wish to give to. You may give to just one fund, or divide your gift among the following three funds:
      1. General Fund — Donations to this fund support South Baptist Church and its mission to reach those who are far from God and grow up those who are in Christ.
      2. Benevolence Fund — Donations to this fund are used primarily to help meet emergency needs within the South Baptist Church family, as well as occasional needs within our community.
      3. Building Fund — Donations to this fund are used for approved building projects.
    3. OCCURRENCE — Select how often you want to give. You have two choices:
      1. One time — The amount you have entered will be processed only once.
      2. Regularly — The amount you have entered will be processed on a recurring basis. If you make this selection, you will see two new fields.
        1. Frequency — You can select Weekly, Every Other Week, Monthly, or Twice-Monthly.
        2. Weekday — You can select which day of the week you would like the payment processed.
        3. When you have made your selections, you will see an on-screen confirmation of when your first payment will be processed.
    4. EMAIL — Provide the email address where you want to receive any notices, receipts, and communications.
  5. Click the Continue button.
  6. MY PAYMENT METHOD — You will now see options for how you want to make your payment.
    1. ACH/Bank Account — This is the church’s preferred method of online giving, as it incurs the lowest processing fees. Giving via ACH/Bank Account incurs a flat fee of $0.25 per transaction. From a $100 donation, the church would receive $99.75.
    2. Debit/credit card — This is also an accepted method of online giving, but incurs higher processing fees. Giving via debit/credit card incurs a fee of $0.30 per transaction, plus 2.3% of the donation. From a $100 donation, the church would receive $97.40, or $2.35 less received by the church compared to a similar donation given via ACH/Bank Account.
