Pre-Authorized Transfer (PAT)
PAT authorization form |
|
The Pre-Authorized Transfer (PAT) option for contributions to Community of
Christ (available only in
the United States and limited to congregations that currently use online
Shelby for contributions) provides a way to make regular monthly contributions
to Local and World Mission Tithes through electronic fund transfers from your
bank or financial institution. You determine the amount (minimum authorization
amount is $25 per month) you want to contribute to each month. Pre-Authorized
Transfers occur on the 15th of each month. You may still use offering envelopes to give additional contributions.
Pre-Authorized Transfer contributions will be added to all other contributions
you give through offering envelopes and will be reported on the regular
monthly statements you receive from your congregational financial officer.
You may submit changes or requests to cancel on a PAT authorization form,
which must be received at Community of Christ World Headquarters by the first
of the month to be effective for that month’s contribution. Verbal or e-mail
change requests cannot be honored. Your request will be acknowledged in
writing within seven days of receipt. You may fax PAT authorization forms to
headquarters at (816) 521-3094.
For questions about Pre-Authorized Transfers, including obtaining and
filling out a PAT authorization form, contact your congregational or mission
center financial officer or Community of Christ Fiscal Services by
e-mail or 1-800-825-2806, ext. 1391. Pre-authorized
transfers are automatically stopped when membership transfers are processed.

Online Banking
|
|
For areas where the Pre-Authorized Transfer system is not available, or for
contributors who prefer to give different amounts at different times, online
banking may be used as an electronic contribution option. You can give to
Local and World Mission Tithes through online banking, as long as your local
bank or financial institution provides this service.
When you log on to your online bank account, you must initially provide
mailing information that includes the church name (Community of Christ—then
your congregation name), local or mission center financial officer’s name,
mailing address, and phone number. If you prefer to use online banking to
contribute to World Mission Tithes only, include the following contact
information: Community of Christ, Presiding Bishopric, 1001 W. Walnut,
Independence, Missouri 64050-3562; phone: 1-800-825-2806, ext. 1384. Be sure
to include the amount and name of funds to which you want to contribute. Once
the church address/contact information is included in your online bank
account, you are set to make contributions to Local and World Mission Tithes
any time, day or night!
For further information, contact Fiscal Services by
e-mail
or 1-800-825-2806, ext. 1391. |

Offering Envelopes
|
|
  Disciples generally give Mission Tithes
during worship services by using offering envelopes requested from their
home congregation financial officer (CFO). The receipt received for
these contributions allows disciples to track the progress in reaching
their individual sharing goal. Contributions mailed to the congregation,
mission center, or Community of Christ International Headquarters will
also be receipted. |
| |
|
|
Worship Offertory
|
|
Opportunity to give is provided during most
Community of Christ services. Offering envelopes are often available in
the pews for your use, or money may be placed directly in the offering
tray. Money donated in this way will not be receipted.
