1. Online giving can help you stay consistent: Even when you are away from church, you can still be regular in your giving so you won't have to worry about 'catching up' when you get back. It is a convenient way to fulfill your stewardship commitments and support the ministries of Covington First UMC, even when you can’t attend. It provides not only a secure, paperless option, but allows you to establish a disciplined giving pattern.

2. Less distractions during the service: You don't have to think about filling out your check or searching your purse/wallet during the service and impacting your worship experience. Instead of worrying about writing a check, you can be fully engaged with the service, knowing that you have already given your offering.

3. Online Giving is convenient: As long as you have internet access, you can give anywhere, at anytime.

4. Security & Privacy: Online Giving is more secure than writing a check that can be lost or stolen in the mail. In addition, your donations remain private as they don’t need to be counted or handled by staff or various volunteers. Your information is only seen by the Finance Manager for the purposes of properly recording your giving for tax records.

5. Helping Covington First: Online contributions require less processing and bookkeeping from the administrative staff since the information is logged and deposited automatically.
