Your faithful financial support is an act of worship and makes the ministry of Bethel Lutheran Church possible. It is through the varied gifts of our members and friends that we can live fully into our mission statement to “joyfully live and share the good news.” Thank You!
There are several ways to support our congregation financially:
1. Give Online: Access Bethel Online Giving or scan the QR code below. This is a safe, easy, and automated way to support God’s work at Bethel financially. You choose the amount and frequency of your gift (either recurring or one-time). If you set up a recurring gift, it will be automatically withdrawn from your checking, savings, debit, or credit card.
2. Give through Text: Send a text message to 866-298-7547 with the amount you would like to give. Within a few minutes, you’ll receive a text with a link to register. Click on the link and enter your card information. Once registration is complete, you will receive a text verification and a receipt of your donation via email. For future giving, send a text with the amount you wish to give, and it will be processed automatically. You can even text “repeat” for a recurring donation.
3. Enroll in Vanco: another safe and automated way to support God’s work at Bethel financially. You choose the amount and frequency of your gift, and it is automatically withdrawn from your checking or savings account. To enroll, complete an Authorization form and return it (along with a voided check) to the church office or place it in the offering plate.
4. Check or cash: Join us Sunday morning to place your gift in the offering plate. Bethel Offering envelopes are available for Bethel members to use. When using these envelopes, please include your name, the dollar amount, and your envelope number. Your envelope number is on your church mailbox next to your name.
