Online Giving
Since you excel in so many ways - you have so much faith, such enthusiasm, and such love for us - now I want you to excel also in this gracious ministry of giving.
2 Corinthians 8:7 (NLT)Your financial gifts to Holy Trinity help ensure that God’s work is accomplished here in the Metroplex and all around the world. Whether they are used to repair a leaky roof, send a child to camp or support Orthodox missions across the globe, your contributions further God’s Kingdom and provide operational resources for your parish. At Holy Trinity we want to make giving as simple and convenient as possible for you.
- You may give cash or checks in person during worship services or place your contributions in the office drop box;
- You may stop by the office during the week and make a contribution in person with your credit or debit card;
- You may send your check to the church by mail; or
- You can give online by electronic check or credit card.
Through this convenient service you can give a single contribution or set up recurring gifts toward your stewardship pledge or to any other purpose or fund supported by the parish.
BENEFITS OF ONLINE GIVING
Easy - Three simple steps to give online that will take you just moments (hardly more than the time to write a check) and you are done…for the entire year! You can also use this service to give donations to special causes supported by the parish. Further, you will receive an automated email every time you successfully complete a transaction. Finally, you will have access to your online giving history and will be able to see when and what you have given any time at your convenience.
Priority - Proverbs 3:9 teaches us to honor our Lord with the “First Fruits” of our labor. By setting up a recurring contribution that is scheduled to come out of your account on the day you specify, you can ensure that your First Fruits are always given back to God.
Consistency - Have you ever forgotten to give your contribution - left it at home, missed because you were out of town? Or perhaps you have gotten behind on your giving and it seems impossible to catch up. Scheduled online giving helps you to remain faithful by ensuring that you always give when you planned to give.
Security - Believe it or not, online giving is more secure than writing a check and giving it at church. Your contribution cannot be lost or stolen. Your funds are transferred directly from your checking account or credit card to the church’s account through the most secure internet means available. See below for more on internet security.
Help Your Parish - Through regular online giving, you expedite your gift to the church, making the funds immediately available. It also simplifies accounting reducing office operational costs; and it strengthens our base of regular support.
SECURITY
We know that security is important to you. The web service provider we use to offer online giving has the highest internet security measures in place. They use 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, to secure your online sessions. This process safeguards your session from intruders and is the same technology used by the banking industry. Further, they hold the highest level of PCI (Payment Card Industry) Compliance. This means they undergo regular onsite audits, and daily penetration testing, as well as many other measures to ensure your credit card, bank account data, and personal information remains secure from threats.

In short, your information is secure and only you have can access to it.
