Why give online?
Many people now manage their finances online and prefer the convenience of being able to give at any time–24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Plus, if you are away a Sunday, you can ensure your contribution arrives on time when you are missed.
Is my financial information safe?
Yes, Advent uses Vanco Services to process your gift. Vanco services more than 25,000 organizations from small churches to Fortune 500 corporations. As a PCI Level 1 Compliant Service Provider, Vanco provides the highest level of security and confidentiality. For many years, Vanco has serviced Advent’s “Simply Giving” program. Your information is safe!
What forms of giving are available?
MasterCard and Visa are most frequently used, and most major credit and debit cards are accepted. In addition, you may opt for electronic transfer from your checking or savings account. You choose how you wish to give.
Must I create an Online Profile to give?
No, you may just complete the form as a one time gift. At any time in the future, you may create an online profile to enable you to log in, setup regularly scheduled contributions, and review the history of your past gifts.
Will this enable more people to give?
Yes. Many members and friends of Advent who have moved away have expressed a desire to continue to support Advent and need a more convenient way to do so. Online giving makes that possible! Even though miles may separate those–hearts will always remain at this wonderful church. Or, you may have visited before, and want to support the mission of Advent. Your contributions are appreciated and will be put to work.
