Frequently Asked Questions
Elevate Christian Church is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We use a third-party service, Tithe.ly, to collect online giving on our behalf.
Is giving online safe?
Yes. The "Give through Tithe.ly" button will open a new browser window (or tab) at Tithe.ly's website. They use the same technology as banks to protect the information you submit.
Are there any fees for giving online?
Yes. Tithe.ly charges a per-transaction fee similar to what a credit card processor charges commercial businesses. When you give, you can opt to pay those fees on behalf of Elevate so the church receives the full donation amount.
What donation methods are supported?
Tithe.ly accepts credit/debit cards, ACH/bank transfers (electronic checks) and American Express.
Do I have to use online giving?
Only if you want to give using a credit or debit card. Elevate Christian Church will accept financial donations via cash or check in person on Sunday mornings or mailed to the church office. (Please contact the office prior to bringing non-financial donations if the church leadership has not asked for it specifically.)
Will my account with PushPay work with Tithe.ly?
No. Members of Central Christian Church who were giving through PushPay will need to create a new giving profile with Tithe.ly.
