Carruthers Creek Community Church

Pre-Authorized Giving (PAG)

Automatic withdrawal allows you to make your giving to God an absolute priority. Determining in advance what you will give, and then arranging for that to be done automatically, ensures that God always gets your “first fruits”. This says something about your commitment to God and allows the leadership to plan the ministries of the church more effectively. This can be accomplished by:

Completing a hard copy of the Pre-Authorized Giving (PAG) Form, and attaching a personal cheque marked “VOID”.
Submitting the form, along with a voided cheque, to either the Ministry Centre or Church Office.

Envelope Giving

Boxed envelopes are also provided by Carruthers Creek Community Church for all who wish to use them. This traditional method of giving is common to many, and ensures that an easy tracking system is in place for tax receipting. To begin using our envelope system, all you have to do is:

Request a set of envelopes at the Ministry Centre. A numbered set will be assigned to you for tax receipt purposes.
Insert your cash, cheque or a debit card receipt into the envelope.
Complete the front of the envelope with the appropriate information requested.
Place the envelope in the offering plate.

Debit Machine Giving (Church Lobby)

Recognizing that many people today do not carry cash, or even write cheques, we make it possible to participate in our giving ministry through the use of bank or debit cards. Debit machines are located at the Welcome and Ministry Centres. This is not a cash or credit card machine. It is designed to allow you to give using your debit card. Simply follow the instructions below, or ask for assistance at the Centres.

Swipe your Debit Card, and then enter the amount you wish to give on the Terminal Pad (no decimal point). Then press Enter.
Follow the instructions on the hand held Key Pad.
Remove the receipt (MERCHANT COPY) and place it in an Offering Envelope. (Use your personal envelopes or the white envelopes next to the machine. Be sure to complete the front of the envelope so we can credit you for your donation.)
Make sure to press Enter a second time to obtain an additional receipt (CUSTOMER COPY) for your personal records.
Place the envelope in offering during the service.
