GIVING OPTIONS:
—ONLINE BILL PAYMENT.
We encourage you to check first with your bank to see if online bill payment is a service they offer—for some banks, it is free! That means not only will they write the check for you, but they will mail it (and cover the postage) if needed. So you can schedule a donation to the church through your bank's website.
—AUTOMATIC DEDUCTION FROM YOUR ACCOUNT.
You can arrange to have a set amount automatically taken out of your checking or savings account on a regular basis. Some paperwork needs to be filed for this. To do this, send a message to offering@maplestchurch.com.
—MAILING DONATIONS.
You may also send a check through regular mail. Always make sure to mark if it is designated for a specific purpose; otherwise, we will use it where it is most needed.
—DONATE QUICKLY ONLINE!
