Giving Online

Giving has changed a lot over the centuries. When the Bible was written, giving was in the form of the firstborn of your herds or the first fruits of all that your fields produced. Today, money is electronic – hence we are happy to provide those of you who are internet savvy an opportunity to do your giving online.

A quick observation about giving online. Remember, there’s no substitute for bringing your gifts to the Lord during a church service. Giving online is great, but there’s still nothing like being there and giving as part of your worship.

Online giving is as easy as specifying the church name and address as the recipient of your online "check" on your bank or credit union's secure website. You can also use your bank or credit union's secure website to easily set up reoccurring payments to WHFC. For more information on how to do this, check out Give Online Using Your Bank. This is the most cost effective means of online giving to WHFC.

Oh yes, please include your giving envelope number when giving online. If you don't have a giving envelope number, don't hesitate to call our Church Treasurer and ask for one.

For those who would prefer to give right now without writing an online check at your bank's site, then we have the option for you to Give Online Using PayPal. You do not have to have a PayPal account to use this option.
