Online Giving

As a reminder, there are multiple ways to give our tithes and offerings to ECC.  In addition to cash and checks in offering envelopes, we offer the convenience of online giving & app giving. SimpleGive is a safe and easy way to honor God with your tithes.  You can access Simple Give through the church website at eatoncommunitychurch.org and click on the “Give” tab at the top of the page. The SimpleGive app can be downloaded on your cell phone by searching SimpleGive in the app store (see Logo). Gifts can be set to automatically give weekly, biweekly, monthly, or a one-time gift. Funds can be directed to General Budget, Luke 3:11, Mission & Outreach, Benevolence, Building, or another special area that is listed in drop-down box. 

We believe that financial transparency builds trust and is a mark of stewardship so we want to take a moment to remind you that there is a small cost for this convenience. Please keep in mind that giving through your bank account (entering your account and routing number) allows your gift to go further, as the processing fees are lower.  

For example:

Bank Account (ACH) – for $100.00 gift, the fee is $1.39

For $1,000.00 gift, the fee is $10.39

Debit or Credit Card – for $100.00 gift, the fee is $2.89

                                     For $1,000.00 gift, the fee is $25.39

You now have the opportunity to help cover the cost of processing when you give. Please know that this is 100% optional, but we appreciate your partnership in making your gift go as far as possible to impact our mission of Sharing Life, Sharing Christ. When you schedule your giving you can choose the “Add Donation” button, then use the dropdown box and choose “Processing Fee”, and add the amount you wish to donate to cover the Processing Fees.

No matter how you choose to give today, we are so grateful for your generosity & faithfulness!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any of the Finance Team members.
