Online Giving To Lakeshore
Convenient. Safe. Easy.
Why give online?
It helps simplify your life.
You can give regularly and faithfully without having to keep track of when you last gave. It also allows you to maintain your giving when you’re away on vacation or when bad weather makes it hard to attend church (imagine that in Rochester?).
It helps you track your giving in real time.
Online giving lets you track your giving history easily and securely so that you can stay on top of and in control of your giving to God.
It helps you focus on worshiping God during services.
No need to write checks, fill out envelopes or do anything. And if you would like, you can bring a print out of your gift and still feel a part of the giving experience.
It helps meet the ministry needs of Lakeshore.
By giving regularly and consistently, you allow the church to maximize the impact of our mission to be used by God to “turn people into difference-makers for Christ”. And automatic giving helps make our record-keeping and tracking easier.
