I clicked ‘give now’- but nothing happened?
You may need to disable your web browsers popup blocker. If you are not sure how to disable your popup blocker, you can try holding down the CTRL (for Windows) button while clicking on the Give Now button to temporarily disable the popup blocker feature.
My gift cannot be processed- what now?
Usually gifts are not able to be processed due to a mistake when entering your information or when your credit/ debit card has expired. Please verify you entered the correct information and your card has not expired.
How do I pay for church activities? (i.e. small group workbooks, youth activities, etc.)
Please do not pay fee payments through the online giving portal or place fee payments in the service offering as these payments will be processed as a gift and will not be applied to the amounts you owe. Please direct any fee payments to the department or ministry handling the activity either by mail or through the fee payment link sent via email (not to be confused with the online giving portal).
Is my giving tax deductible?
Generally, yes. Substance Church is an Internal Revenue Service determined 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation which generally makes gifts tax deductible. Cases in which you would not be able to deduct your contributions include: gifts requiring an itemized deduction on your tax return, fair market value of tangible goods or services received by the donor in exchange for a gift (small group workbook fee, bookstore sales, etc.), and gifts exceeding any charitable contribution deduction limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.
Is online giving secure?
Yes. When you login to your account to give you will notice the web address will change from http:// to https//:. This means any information you send is encrypted using SSL encryption technology. This security technology is the same technology that banks and major online retailers use. Please do not email your credit card information.
If I use a debit / credit card to give, will Substance incur fees?
Yes, Substance has to pay merchant fees on all ACH, debit and credit card transactions. The merchant fee rates average about 0.5% of the gift for ACH, 2.15% of the gift for online credit card donations and 4% of the gift for mobile giving donations. All forms of payment have some type of fee or cost to process. If you are concerned about the church having to pay fees on your giving, please give using your bank’s online bill pay service or place a physical check in the offering container.
Where can I find the church financial information?
You can view the church financial statements by clicking the links below. Financial statements are updated online every six months (through January 31 for half-year, and through July 31 for full-year). Please allow up to 45 days after the end of the reporting period for updated financials to be made available. The Substance Church fiscal year begins August 1 and ends July 31. Half-year statements generally will not contain end-of-year adjustments (depreciation, etc.). Financials are produced by outside accounting firm Accounting Solutions, Inc.
I received a “tokenization error” when trying to give. What should I do?
To increase the security of your giving transaction, information tokens are substituted for your account information. When you receive this error, the old information can remain in your electronic device's memory. To resolve this problem, please delete your browser history or use a different browser or electronic device.
