More ways to give

However you give, it counts.

Prefer another way? Here is everything else, in one place.

In person

Place your gift in the offering at any service, or give at the giving kiosk in the lobby.

By mail

Make your check out to Living Water Church and mail it to 1200 Riverbend Parkway, Springfield. Write the fund on the memo line.

Scan a QR code

Point your phone camera at the code on our slides, bulletin or lobby signs. Our giving page opens, ready to go.

From your bank account

Choose Bank account on the giving form. It costs the church less than a card, so more of your gift goes to ministry.

Donor-advised fund

Recommend a grant to Living Water Church from your fund’s website. The church office can give you our tax ID.

From your IRA

Age 70½ or older? A qualified charitable distribution can go straight from your IRA to the church. Ask your financial advisor.

A legacy gift

Remember the church in your will, or name it as a beneficiary of a policy or account. We would be honored to talk with you.

Employer matching

Many employers match gifts to churches and charities. Ask your HR team, and your gift could go twice as far.

My Giving

Your giving, anytime.

Sign in with a code texted to your phone, or your email and password. Checks recorded by the church office show up here too, right beside your online gifts.

Giving questions

Good questions, clear answers.

Is my gift tax-deductible?
Gifts to Living Water Church are tax-deductible as allowed by law. You’ll get an email receipt right after every online gift, and a year-end giving statement each January in My Giving.
Can I cover the processing fee?
Yes. Check the box on the giving form to add the fee to your gift, so the whole amount you meant to give goes to ministry.
Which way costs the church the least?
Gifts from a bank account cost the church less than card gifts. Covering the fee helps with any payment method.
I gave by check. Will it be on my statement?
Yes. The church office records checks and offering envelopes, and they appear in your giving history and on your year-end statement with your online gifts.
Is giving online secure?
Yes. Gifts are processed by OnlineGiving.org on a PCI-compliant platform. Your card and bank details are encrypted and never stored on our church’s website.
