There are several benefits to online giving for both you and\u00a0Clear Lake Nazarene<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Faithfully Honoring God<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen you sign up to give online you are deciding in advance to faithfully give. The Bible teaches that we are to honor God with the “first fruits” of our labor (Proverbs 3:9). By setting up a recurring contribution that is scheduled to come out of your account on the day you specify, you can ensure that your first fruits are faithfully given back to God. (1 Corinthians 16:1-2)<\/span>

\nSimplicity<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nYou won\u2019t have to remember whether you gave this month or send in an offering by mail when you\u2019re on a trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

Security<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nWe utilize an encrypted secure website for our giving portal to ensure protection of your sensitive personal information and giving history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Transparency<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\nYou have the ability to quickly see your online giving history directly through our giving portal instead of having to contact our Finance Department for a personalized report.<\/span><\/p>\n

Give at our Sunday Service:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Every weekend we offer several opportunities for you to offer your gift by placing it in the offering bucket during our worship service.

Auto Bill Pay:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Many banks offer their customers the ability to have checks automatically drafted by their bank and mailed to the recipient (such as the church) on a recurring basis. Please contact your personal bank if you wish to pursue this option to set up Clear Lake Nazarene\u00a0as a new payee.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Stewardship:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

The ministry of Clear Lake Nazarene\u00a0is funded by God’s provision through the tithes and offerings of faithful members\u00a0and attenders. \u00a0Clear Lake Nazarene\u00a0works very hard to ensure we are doing everything possible to properly manage the financial resources that God has entrusted to us. We honor God’s provision by pursuing wise and faithful stewardship, ethical business practices, and full accountability so that the financial integrity of Clear Lake Nazarene\u00a0remains beyond reproach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our mission is facilitated through our system of internal controls over financial reporting and our internal budgeting and reporting processes. We also voluntarily invest in a\u00a0recurring\u00a0audit process for outside accountability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Members of Clear Lake Nazarene may request a copy of our most recent budget or ask general questions about our financial practices at any time by contacting the church office at (281) 486-9581, or message us<\/a>.
