Out of love for God who loved us first, we serve our Lord in the way we manage the gifts he gives us. Our faith in Jesus motivates us to give back to God a portion of the gifts he’s given us. We support the work of Christ’s church through the offerings of our time, talents, and treasures. The offering is not an obligation, it is a free and willing expression of gratitude to God for all that he has done for us. As redeemed children of God, we give him our best because he has given us his best.

As a service to our members and guests, online giving is available through Vanco Services, which provides secure and reliable processing for both recurring and one-time gifts. Clicking on the link above will direct you to Morning Star’s e-giving page. First-time users are encouraged to create a login profile by clicking Create Profile. Follow the onscreen instructions to make and schedule your contributions.

Contributions can be withdrawn automatically from your checking or savings account, or processed using your credit or debit card. PLEASE NOTE: there is a credit/debit card processing fee of 3% per transaction. If you would like to set up a schedule of on-going contributions, we encourage fund transfers from bank accounts due to the additional 3% fee of credit/debit card processing.
