Dear <Salutation>,

I have exciting news! To make it easier for you to support our church and the important ministries we provide, «Church_Name» is launching a new online giving program.

You can make all of your contributions to «Church_Name» via automatic payment from your checking account or credit card – just as you may do now with your mortgage, household bills, and other monthly payments.

This will be of great benefit to you and to «Church_Name» in the following ways

•Convenience: You will not have to write a check each Sunday morning or be sure you have cash on hand. For members and guests who do not carry check books or cash, this will open the opportunity for them to enjoy giving as well. You can spend more time each Sunday focused on the message, prayers, and what God is speaking to your heart!

•Consistency: You can support our ministries even when you are out of town or unable to attend. This provides the ministry with a more stable income, allowing us to more effectively plan our programs and services.

•Cost-Effective: We will see a savings for our ministry in envelopes and offertory supplies, which we can use to further expand our ministries throughout our community and reach more people with Christ’s love. It also means that together, we will be using less paper and easing our impact on the environment!

Can I count on you to set aside five minutes today visit www.churchwebsite.net and securely enroll online? With online enrollment, you will be able to access your account any time to view and make changes to your account information and gifts.

God has blessed us with technology that makes giving easier and allows your gift to have an even greater impact for «Church_Name». I am grateful for your generous support and hope you will join me enrolling today.

In His name,

«Pastor_Name»

Pastor
