A note about online giving
Giving to God and His church is an act of worship. So it makes perfect sense that, for centuries, the primary time and place for giving tithes and offerings has been in the context of the worship service in the local church. However, we now live in a world where money is increasingly invisible and intangible.
In order to provide a giving option other than checks and cash, the Grace Central Church elders have decided to make online giving available to the worshipers. We pray that the act of giving will always be a tangible reminder that all we have is from God's hand—even if the giving takes place on a phone or computer.
