Ways To Give
1. Sunday Morning Corporate Worship
Each Sunday as a part our corporate worship service we have an opportunity to give. Members of our hospitality team will pass baskets during our last song to collect the offerings. We have offering envelopes available if you prefer to give in cash and would like to receive a tax receipt at the end of the year. We also accept checks as well. Please make checks payable to King's Chapel.
2. Online Giving
You can give through our simple and secure online service Church Center. Here, you can make payments using checking account (ACH) or card (Checking is the preferred way as the church will incur less fees). We want to reassure you that your gifts are safe and secure. Church Center utilizes Stripe for processing online giving.

Q: What types of bank accounts can I give from?
You can give online from your checking account via an ACH transaction. You can also give using your Credit/Debit card. Though we provide a credit card option, we encourage people to be wise stewards of their finances. It is not our desire to see you go into debt. If you are in debt or have a history of debt please refrain from using your credit card to give.
Q: Are there any fees involved with giving online?
There are transaction fees charged to King's Chapel and a small portion of your gift does go towards paying those fees. (0% + 30¢/per transaction for ACH or 2.15% + $0.30/donation for Debit/Credit Cards.) Our preference is for you to use the ACH option as it will incur the least cost. There is an option for you to help offset these costs when you set up your online giving if you would like to help the church cover these fees.
