General Information
What is eTithing?
eTithing is Community of Christ’s secure online platform, hosted by SecureGive, for members and friends in the USA to give Mission Tithes. It allows for easy and flexible contributions via desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices using bank withdrawals, credit, or debit cards.
Why am I receiving emails from SecureGive?
SecureGive hosts eTithing. SecureGive sends emails to notify you of successful transactions or any issues with your contributions. They manage the privacy of your personal information and work directly with you about your account.
Making Contributions
How do I contribute on eTithing?
Visit eTithing.org. Select your congregation or “My Home Congregation” to make a one-time or recurring donation. Follow the prompts to complete the giving process.
How do I give if my congregation is not listed?
If your congregation is not listed, select “My Home Congregation.” Contributions will be directed to the congregation where you are listed as a member in the membership database.
Congregations that do not accept electronic contributions or do not enter their contributions into the church's receipting database Shelby are not eligible to participate in eTithing. If your congregation is not listed and you want to know why, contact your Congregational Financial Officer.
How do I give to a congregation and World Church?
You can give to both your local congregation and World Church in the same gift through your congregation if it is listed or through “My Home Congregation” if your congregation is not listed.
To give to Worldwide Mission Tithes without going through your congregation, select World Church from the first page.
Can I give to more than one congregation?
Yes, you can give to any congregation or mission center that is listed on eTithing by setting up a separate gift for each one that you want to support.
How do I change my recurring transaction?
Log into your eTithing account, select the transaction you wish to change, and click “edit all details” in the right navigation section.
Because eTithing is hosted by SecureGive, International Headquarters does not have access to your account details. Fiscal Services cannot change or update any information for you. If you are having trouble making changes, we will try to guide you through the steps. For further assistance, contact Fiscal Services.
When will my recurring contributions be withdrawn?
The withdrawal date depends on the schedule you set in your eTithing account. You can log in to eTithing.org to change the withdrawal date and frequency.
Contributors Statements
Why aren't all my eTithing contributions listed on my Contributor's Statement?
Only contributions given through “My Home Congregation” or a listed congregation will appear on your local Contributor’s Statement. Contributions to the World Church will be listed on a separate statement from International Headquarters.
Will I get a tax receipt for my eTithing contributions?
Yes, your eTithing contributions will be included on the Contributor’s Statement from your Congregational Financial Officer if given through “My Home Congregation” or a listed congregation. Contributions to the World Church will be on a separate statement from International Headquarters.
Account and Support
Do I need an eTithing account?
No, you can make one-time donations without creating an account. However, creating an account allows you to manage recurring contributions and track your giving history.
Who do I contact if I need help?
If you need help with your eTithing account, contact Fiscal Services.
Because eTithing is hosted by SecureGive, International Headquarters does not have access to your account details. Fiscal Services cannot change or update any information for you. If you are having trouble making changes, we will try to guide you through the steps.
