Yes, it absolutely counts. Those who prefer to give in the offering plate on Sunday morning may still continue to give that way. However, making an online gift is also an act of faithful discipleship.

In fact, online giving can help us live into the Biblical idea of “first fruits.” Just like many of us manage our retirement or savings, online giving allows us to decide on a proportion or percentage of our income and to give to God FIRST.

Yes, it is very safe. Pushpay, our online giving provider company is a PCI (Payment Card Industry) Level 1 Compliant Service Provider. PCI requires all financial institutions to adhere to a rigorous set of security standards and undergo comprehensive onsite assessments by independent auditors on a regular basis.

Pushpay is dedicated to protecting the personal information and privacy, security and confidentiality of its clients. View Pushpay’s complete Privacy and Security Policy here.
