PayPal Donations
One-time and reoccurring (automated) donations can be made via PayPal. Just click on the PayPal button to the right, choose a donation type / amount, and then complete the setup with PayPal. For reoccurring donations, PayPal will transfer the donation amount each month without any further effort on your part.
Frequently Asked Questions About Donating Online
1. What is PayPal, and how is Mountain View using it to enable online donations?
PayPal allows us to collect donations from a button on our website or an email link. It is a low cost way for us to make it convenient for you to keep your pledge up-to-date, or, perhaps, pay for your altar flowers if you forgot your checkbook when you signed up for them on a Sunday.
2. Why did you choose PayPal?
It is the most widely-used donation provider and we have confidence in its reliability. Also, it is inexpensive. In fact, we do not pay anything unless someone donates, and then PayPal retains a small percentage of the donation as a transaction fee.
3. Do I have to have a PayPal account?
No. Look for the button that allows you to choose to use a major credit card (American Express, VISA, etc.) You can use one of them without ever signing up for PayPal.
4. Are you encouraging people to borrow to support the church?
No. We are simply making it convenient for people who prefer to donate online to do so, not asking people to incur debt to do so.
5. Do I have to be a member of the church to donate?
No. We are grateful for support from all who feel motivated to do so.
6. Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. We are a 501(C)(3) corporation.
7. I cannot figure out how to make PayPal work.
Please call the church office at 770-928-0050 and we will help you.
