Giving at Faith is becoming easier than ever before! As we focus our giving to two categories, “Tithe or Offering” and “Kingdom Builders,” we’re also transitioning to a new online giving experience. Our goal is to simplify your experience by combining your giving profile with all your other activities at Faith, and to continue to be good stewards of the resources that come in.
It’s time to switch your giving from our old platform to our new one by canceling any current recurring gifts and setting them up on the new platform.

WE’VE SIMPLIFIED GIVING
F.A.Q
A: Any recurring gifts that have not been moved to the new Giving PLatform by March 31, 2023 may automatically stop.
A: Giving is simplified into 2 Fund Categories: Tithe (1) and Kingdom Builders (2), which eliminates a large drop-down menu of specific campaigns. As a church, Faith also Tithes off of the Tithes. The Tithe off the tithes will go to supporting the over 1,000 missionaries around the world. Existing Faith Promise Missions giving will now be part of Kingdom Builders. When we have special guest Missionaries, not representing a specific project, we will add their names to the drop down for giving during services. Special Missions Projects will be supported through Kingdom Builders and be featured monthly in Services.
A: You will be able to give to both the Tithe AND Kingdom Builders in one “shopping cart”-like giving experience, rather than giving to each in separate transactions. This is convenient and helps the church save on transaction fees.
A: We are in the process of importing history from the old Platform and your Giving History will show in the new platform shortly. If you need it sooner, please email [email protected] for your giving history.
About Online Giving
We accept gifts via Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover, as well as our highly preferred method with your Bank Account(ACH). Bank Account giving, also know as ACH, saves us money on processing fees, allowing the maximum dollars possible to go directly to ministry use. To give with your Bank Account, you will enter an account and routing number. Aside from reducing internal fees, linking your online giving account to your Bank Account will save you from having to update your giving profile in the event that your Debit Card is ever lost, stolen, or expired.

About Kingdom Builders
We are launching new language and efforts around our giving and generosity.
• We will have two lanes of giving: Tithe or Offerings and Kingdom Builders.
• As people are obedient with their tithe (10%), Faith will have the resources needed to support our ministry. You cannot be “generous” without first being obedient with the tithe.
• Faith will “tithe off of the tithe,” which will support the 1,000+ missionaries we support monthly.
• Kingdom Builders is activated after the tithe (10%) and is the one “bucket” you can give toward to support various outlets of ministry, both locally and globally.
• Kingdom Builders will encompass Convoy of Hope projects, campus expansion, event scholarships, local and global mission efforts, and much more.
Kingdom Builders F.A.Q
A: Simply put, we will ALWAYS support global missions. A portion of both the regular Tithe and Kingdom Builders will go to missions. Kingdom Builders is activated after the tithe (10%) and is the one “bucket” you can give toward to support various outlets of ministry, both locally and globally. Kingdom Builders will encompass Convoy of Hope projects, campus expansion, event scholarships, local and global mission efforts, and much more.

A: As ministries of Faith Assembly, regular kids and youth programming are part of the storehouse, meaning they’re funded through the Tithe.Our Kids & Youth Ministries actively teach on the principle of giving and generosity, which means they will take on their own external projects throughout the year, just like we do in the adult services.As our Kids and Youth ministries focus on different giving projects throughout the year, students will give to the “Kingdom Builders” Kids and Youth funds.
A: As churchwide giving projects arise, we will update the congregation on what Kingdom Builders is presently supporting. (ie. In April, a % of all Kingdom Builders donations will go directly towards our annual Easter Sacrificial Offering project.).
While you cannot designate your funds to specific ministry campaigns, the Kingdom Builders “bucket” will be allocated to various projects as they come in.
