Frequently Asked Questions
Q – I click on the link and nothing happens; what’s wrong?
A – When you click on the link, a new browser window is opened. If you are using a pop-up blocker such as the Google Toolbar, Norton Internet Security, or Pop-Up Stopper, the window will not open. Most tools will allow you to permit pop-ups on a specific website. In order to use eGive, you will need to allow pop-ups within www.leeschapelumc.com.
Q – Are electronic contributions risky?
A – No. An electronic contribution is safer than writing a check and it can’t be lost, stolen or destroyed in the mail. Electronic transactions are required to have your authorization before any money can be deducted. When you sign up for eGive, you are only giving information that is already printed on your check. National laws, rules, and guidelines govern all Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) transactions. Over four billion EFT transactions are processed annually in the United States.
Q – Is there any charge to me from my bank to give online?
A – No. Electronic funds transfers carry no bank fees and this service is free to you.
Q – Why not just give at church?
A – Some of our people are extremely faithful and consistent in their giving at church each week. Some also want their physical act of bringing their offerings to be a part of their worship experience. Others prefer to give online as it helps them give more consistently.
Q – Can I give at odd times, like on the 3rd, 10th, and 12th of each month?
A – Yes - you can leave detailed instructions in the notes section of the online giving setup and the administrator will set things up exactly as you request.
Q – Is it easy to change my amounts or to stop giving online?
A – Yes - simply use the same process you used to sign up for online giving. It's quick and almost instant.
Q – How will I receive a receipt for my eGive contributions?
A – Your eGive contributions will be included on your annual statement from Lee's Chapel and mailed to you in January of each year.
