Donate by Text

Text Giving Commands

If this is the first time you are donating by text, you will receive a link that will walk you through the process of adding a payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account). This payment source will then be linked with your cell phone so that, in the future, all you will need to do is enter the amount you wish to give and you will not need to re-enter your payment information.

The following is a list of commands that the text giving system accepts:

$50

Donates $50 to your church. Users can type any amount; the dollar sign is optional (e.g. $50 and 50 both work).

Give $50

Same as above.
