ONLINE GIVING FAQs
How do I give online?
Go to the Online Giving page and follow the instructions there.
Is online giving secure?
Yes. Your banking and credit card information will only be stored on a secure server that meets all federal data encryption guidelines. Our merchant account provider is Sage.
What are the benefits of setting up recurring online giving?
There are many:
• It helps simplify your life…no trying to remember if you’ve given this month.
• It is biblical…you decide how you are going to give ahead of time (1 Cor. 16:2).
• It allows you to give consistently…even when you’re not in church.
Can I give online if I am not a member or do not attend CBF?
Yes. You will simply need to register as a visitor or Non-Attender by using the appropriate button.
How do I know if my online gift was processed?
After giving online you will immediately receive a confirmation email to the email address for which you are registered for myCBF. You will see this gift posted to your Giving History within one business day.
Can I set up my online giving to be recurring?
Yes. Your gift can be one time only or recurring. For recurring gifts, click on the "Recurring" box and then choose the frequency you want: weekly, every two weeks, monthly or every three months. You can choose the number of payments or give the date of the last transaction. And of course you can modify your scheduled giving at any time.
Can I change my personal information or the amount or the frequency of my gift once I have set it up?
Yes. You can change or cancel your contribution at any time before the date of your next contribution. Log in to the system using your user name and password and make the necessary changes in the system. (Per IRS regulations, once a gift has been made to the church it cannot be refunded.)
Can I designate how my online gift is to be used?
All gifts currently go into the CBF General Operating Fund.
