Automated Giving

Do you have your pay check direct deposited to your bank?
Do you have your mortgage or car payment automatically withdrawn from your checking or savings account?

You can have your offering to Mt. Moriah automatically withdrawn from your checking or savings account too! It’s called “First Fruit Giving.” This service is being provided free for us by the Christian Family Credit Union, Mt. Moriah’s bank. The “First Fruit Giving” direct payment service is a way of giving to the church that combines the convenience of today’s banking methods with the biblical principles of tithing. Give first to the Lord and the rest of your obligations will fall into place.

Here’s all you do:

(1) Sign an Authorization Agreement and enclose a voided check or deposit slip. Authorization agreement forms are also available in the church office.

(2) Choose when you want to give; once a week, on the 1st and 15th of each month, or once a month

(3) Mail or bring the form and voided check in a separate envelope c/o Financial Secretary, to the church office at Mt. Moriah United Methodist Church, 681 Mt. Moriah Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45245. The Financial Secretary will handle the form confidentially and will document the request and forward the form and voided check to the credit union. You do not have to be a member of the credit union to participate. Putting “Financial Secretary” on the envelope adds to the confidentiality since the envelope contains a voided check.

With this service, your gifts will be held in the strictest confidence. No more checks, no more envelopes, no more catching up. The credit union will make the transfer which you will see on your statement, and send a detailed report each week to Mt. Moriah’s Finance Secretary; she will update her records and forward the amounts to the Treasurer.

Christian Family Credit Union is open to all. They offer the same services that banks offer including checking, savings, certificates of deposit and VISA cards.
