Offerings and Donations |
|
Old Tennent Church has partnered with the Presbyterian Foundation Online Giving Program in order to enable those who wish to make donations, gifts, or pledges using a credit card, debit card, or direct debit from a bank. This will also facilitate those who cannot join us at service to give their offerings without having to mail them.
As an additional resource, this program does not take the place of existing plate and mail offerings, You can use whatever means you wish. You are never bound to one or the others.

Questions?How do i use my smart phone?
Download one of the apps from above, or go to "apps" in iPhone or "Google Play" for Android and search for "GIVEPLUS" OR 'GIVE+".
is there a charge to use this service?
There is a 2% per transaction administrative fee which is deducted from your payment and allocated by Old Tennent to the processor. However; you will be credited for the entire donation. You also will be given the option to supplement your payment to add the charge to your donation if you do not want the church to absorb the cost. Either way, you will receive full credit.
will i receive a receipt when i make a donation?
Yes. As soon as your payment is processed, a receipt will be sent to the email you used when you set up an account. If you give as a "guest" (i.e., without registering for an account), you will be asked for your email and your receipt will be sent there.

Yes. Vanco Payment Solutions meets or exceeds all industry standards to safeguard your data. To help ensure your data stays safe, Vanco uses leverage technology such as tokenizing card data and encrypting sensitive information for transmission and storage.

Yes. Just click the "Change Church" link at the bottom of the sign-in screen or from the sidebar menu when you're logged in. Then you can search for the church that you'd like to donate to. Next time you open the app, simply click "Change Church" again to reset your "home" or "default" church back to Old Tennent.
