Are my donations tax-deductible?
Grace Community Church is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and all donations that we receive are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law under Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code. Please consult a tax professional if you have questions about the deductibility of your contributions.
How do I get a username and password to log in?
If you do not have a username and password, please contact Alicia Neiman at the church office and she will send you an invite to set up your account. You do not need a user name and password to give or setup reoccurring payments.
Can I designate my gift to a particular department or ministry?
We accept gifts designated to only a few specific accounts. These include the general fund, missions general, youth, occasional special projects, and benevolence. All other GCC ministries are funded by your gifts to the general fund.
How often do you send giving statements?
Giving statements are mailed each January for the previous year. Note that loose cash donations cannot be tracked and will not be included in this statement. If you have moved recently or had a name change because of an updated marital status, please send us your updated information.

What forms of payment do you accept online?
We currently accept electronic check or Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit/debit cards. We do not accept American Express at this time.
Are there fees associated with giving online?
You are not charged any fees to give online. However, when you make an online gift with a credit or debit card, Grace Community Church incurs fees that typically range from 2.5% to 3.5%. These are normal card processing fees and cannot be avoided. Donations made via Bill Pay or ACH have very minimal fees associated with them and are preferred.
Can I schedule recurring donations?
Yes. When you make your online gift, at the bottom before you select the donate now button there is a drop down to select one time gift or however frequent you wish to give.
Can I edit my existing recurring donation?
Yes, if you have an account you can log in then modify you recurring gift under the giving tab. If you don't have an account you can contact Alicia in the church office and she can make any modifications for you including canceling your recurring gift.
Can I test this by giving one time?
Yes. Unless you specify a recurring donation, your contribution will only occur once.
Can I see what I’ve given in the past?
Yes. All of your online giving is recorded in your profile and is accessible when you’re logged into the Online Giving system. Simply click your name in the top righthand corner of the website and click “Profile”. This will open your user profile, and your previous gifts will be visible under the “Financial” tab. Note that loose cash donations cannot be tracked and will not be visible here or included in your year-end giving statement.
If we want people to get out of debt, why does Grace Community Church accept credit card donations?
Used within the parameters, debit and credit cards can be an efficient tool for payments and purchases. Many people now utilize them in place of cash or checks, and then pay off the balance in full each month. For these people, we offer the option of using a credit or debit card for their convenience. We strongly discourage those who have ongoing credit card debt from exercising this option. Please note that Grace Community Church incurs fees that range from 2.5-3.5% for credit/debit card payments. When you pay via bank account, the fees incurred by the church are very minimal, which is why we prefer this form of giving.
