Welcome to our Online Giving Portal!

"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

Luke 6:38 ESV

Giving FAQs

Our "General" fund touches every area and ministry of our church. If there is a greater need in one area, say an emergency need for one of our Missionaries, our General Fund allows us to easily transfer money to support the cause. If you're unsure where to give, start here!

You can also give to a number of other ministries and funds, such as:

  • Missions Our missions fund allows us to extend the reach of the Gospel by supporting missionaries in different parts of the world. Each month we focus on two different types of missions projects, a Mission Commitment or our core long-term missionaries we support each year, as well as a Missions Visionary Project where we support a new cause, visiting missionary, urgent need, and more. You can find out more about our missions projects on our Missions page or by contacting the church office.
  • Assistance Fund The Assistance Fund allows us as a community of believers to support the needs of members within our congregation.
  • Property Maintenance Giving to our Property Maintenance fund helps us keep our church campus in the best shape to serve our community. Each month over 150 different events and programs occur in our building, including our normal Sunday Morning Services, Sunday Schools, and Wednesday evening services, but also including a number of community programs like Scouts, AA meetings, Weddings, Election Voting, Funerals, and more.
  • Roof Fund The Roof fund is an extension of the Property Maintenance fund that is specifically dedicated to the repair and maintenance of our church building's roof.
  • Light The Way Our Light The Way Radio ministry allows us to broadcast our teaching messages over the air on 11 different radio stations and extend the reach of the Gospel. By setting up a recurring $20 per month gift, you'll become one of our "Light Partners."
  • Memorial Fund Our Memorial Fund allows us to accept donations "in honor" or "in memory" of someone. This is in place of physical item donations that you may see accepted at other charities (such as a bench donated in honor of someone, or plaque or sign, etc.). If you would like to give a donation in honor or in memory of someone, donate to our Memorial Fund. Our Memorial Fund is used for different projects and ministries as needs arise.
  • Men's & Women's Ministry
Yes, you can specify an automated giving frequency from weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, and every other week. You can easily change or cancel a recurring donation at any time. If you have questions, the church office can help!
Absolutely! Just choose the option "One-Time" in the Frequency selection box.
Absolutely not! There are no fees to you of any kind for giving online. The amount that you enter for each gift will be the amount that is reported on your giving record. The church does incur small fees to receive donations, and you have the ability to cover the cost of that fee if you would like to.
Yes, you can use either! Any card-based donations have the same processing fee charged to the church. The lowest cost option is to do an electronic check (also called an ACH), where you donate using your routing and checking number instead of a card number.

Yes, you can setup online giving to deduct directly from your bank account, and you can unlink your account at any time! You simply need your routing number and checking account number.

This is the preferred giving method, as it has the lowest transaction fees that the church covers. Please note that it does take up to 3 days for our giving service to verify access to your account before your initial gift is received.

Our online giving portal is handled by Subsplash Giving, a PCI-compliant Level 1 service provider. The portal is protected by industry standard encryption and is safe and secure to use.

Shepherd of the Hills Calvary Chapel does not have access to any financial account information and only receives a report of your gift amount along with an indication of the type of payment method used as well as the last 4 digits of the payment account (Credit/Debit card or Bank Account) for verification purposes.

Yes, all online giving will be included in your annual giving statement at the end of the year. You can also login to the giving portal to view your year-to-date online giving. For more information, click here.

Unfortunately, we cannot list every ministry or cause that we support on our Online Giving Portal page. If you wish to designate a donation to a specific ministry or cause, please contact the Church Office at 610-754-6446 and we will work with you directly to ensure your gift is delivered to the right fund.

Check with your financial provider for exact transfer times, but donations begin processing on the day specified, with card-based transactions completing transfer in 1-2 days, and echeck/ACH transactions completing in about a week. This extended time is due to modern anti-fraud checks.
You can call the church office at 610-754-6446, or email the church office at [email protected].
