We have completed that process and now have that option for your convenience.  https://gracebibleofbend.onthecity.org/give

Online giving is now available – and super easy – on The City.

Log into your City account and Simply click on the “Giving” tab to the left, input how much you’d like to give and which account you want that gift to go towards (Choose General Fund in most cases).  Then select whether you’d like your donation to process immediately, sometime in the future, or at repeating intervals down the road.  (You can change any and all of this at any time.)

Input your credit/debit card or bank account information to establish your method of payment.  (Giving through your Bank account using ACH is the best option for the church)  The City will attach your payment information to your City account so you don’t have to input this information every time you give.  After you approve the donation, you will get an email confirming your online gift.

By clicking on the “Giving” tab, you can also use the tabs at the top to take a look at what you’ve already given, any recurring payments that you’ve scheduled, and the cards/bank accounts that you have linked to your City account (you can add and delete these at any time).

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

They have just provided us a list of thier needs and I am excited to see how our church family will be able to help meet those needs.  Below is a list of the items needed and every Sunday we will have a donation Box where these items can be dropped off.  They are hoping to have these items by JUNE 1st
