This is your invitation...

This is your invitation to participate in a new program designed to simplify giving by our congregation.

Online Giving will enable you to make church donations using (1) electronic funds transfer (EFT) from your checking or savings account, or (2) credit/debit card giving.  Either can be used for a regular schedule of payments, or for a one-time gift.

There is no cost to you for this new giving option.  But there are several advantages to you and the church!

  • Convenience - No need to write checks.  Giving to KUMC is as easy as paying bills. Service is available 24/7.
  • Security - This service (VANCO) has earned the highest security rating possible for online services and is recommended by The General Council on Finance and Administration of The United Methodist Church.  Online Giving is more secure than processing paper checks.
  • Savings - Save time and the cost of writing and mailing checks.  The church also will save time and bank fees connected with depositing paper checks.
  • "Green" - Online Giving is "green"...no paper checks to process by KUMC volunteers and staff.

 You can elect to participate in Online Giving in two ways. 

1.  Fill out an online giving form and bring it to the church office (along with a voided check, if you want payments to come from a checking account).
2.  You may go from this website directly and register for Online Giving.  Click the red "Give Now" button below.

If you are already giving to KUMC through ACH (direct transfer from your bank to ours), you will find this new service offers a  higher level of security and gives you more control over your payments.

If you participate in Bill Pay and have payments set up directly from your bank to KUMC, you will find this new service offers additional security and increases your ability to make one payment that is split among different funds (for example: budget, roof, etc.).  The biggest benefit to KUMC with Online Giving -- it avoids the fees that we currently pay for every paper check processed.

If you have questions, contact Hope Koebbe or JoAnn Grindler in the church office.  They will be happy to address any concerns you might have.

Did you know that...

  • KUMC is supported totally by its members and friends of the church.
  • We receive no financial support from the United Methodist Church.
  • But we contribute out of our donations to help support the United Methodist Church -- supporting missional ministries locally and around the globe, helping pay the salaries of pastors in smaller churches, helping pay conference officials and support staff.

 

PLEDGE CAMPAIGN
KUMC's annual pledge campaign gives members of the faith community opportunities to reflect on their many blessings and commit to sharing a portion of their financial blessings with the church.  This campaign provides information about expected contributions to the church for the following year, and our annual budget is based on these figures.

But you can contribute to KUMC at any time!  If you would like to pledge your financial support of this church, here's how!

GIFT CARDS
You can also support KUMC by the purchase of gift cards for local grocery stores and other retailers.  These cards are spent just like cash at the participating establishments, and the church receives a percentage of the face value of each card purchased.  This is a way for all of us to support our church financially, without any additional personal cost.

Cards are sold every Sunday in the church lobby, and during the week in the church office.

AND ALSO...

A wide variety of gift cards are now available by preorder.  It's simple!

Pick up a gift card order form or download one by clicking here.  Then indicate how many of each denomination you wish to purchase of each card type.  Complete your order, total it and return the form with your payment.

Dates:
Cards ordered on or before the first Sunday of each month will be ready for pick-up on the second Sunday, or in the church office during the following week.

GIFTS FOR MY CHURCH
A simple way to earn money for KUMC is by shopping online through the "Gifts for my Church" or Amazon websites.  KUMC earns a percentage of all purchases that originate through these sites.   Click on the links below.  Our church I.D. is kumc.Gifts for My Church ba_gfmc_120x60
