2. about online giving:
Online giving allows you to give a one-time gift, schedule reoccurring gifts, and view your giving history online.
1) Online giving security
The online giving form is encrypted with 128-bit encryption security. Encryption is a process that scrambles information into a format that unauthorized parties can not decode or utilize. 128-bit encryption is the strongest, most secure form of
encryption generally utilized in Internet browsers in North America.
You can also give to Mid-Cities through your banks online bill pay service.*
Designate “Mid-Cities Community Church” as the payee and your name as the
account and your bank will automatically send your donation to Mid-Cities. The gift will be recorded on your contribution statement as if you had written the check yourself.
*Only available if your bank offers online bill payment services
