Frequently Asked Questions

 FAQ Online Giving




Q:  Who should give online?

Anyone who is looking for a simpler way to assure their giving. Anyone who would like to give to the ministry of Mobberly Baptist Church either one time or on a recurring basis.





Q:  Is online giving secure?

Yes it is! We utilize 128/256 bit encryption SSL certificates.  The encryption process scrambles information to unauthorized parties and 128 bit SSL encryption is considered the strongest, most secure form of encryption generally used in Internet browsers in North America.





Q:  What if I’m not a Mobberly Baptist Church member, but I want to make a donation?

We are happy to receive your gift, above and beyond your normal giving to your own church home.  Online giving is a perfect way for you to give.  All givers receive a giving statement at year-end regardless of membership status, assuming we have all of their correct address information.





Q:  What are the benefits of online giving?

You can prioritize giving in your budget.  The Bible indicates giving is to be a first and not a last or leftover matter in my life.  Read Proverbs 3:9-10.  It is easy to let our standards and intentions be compromised by the press of expenses and billing cycles.

You can increase your faithfulness.  Have you ever forgotten your gift, left it at home or pledged to double it in the future?  Have you had times where you have fallen behind because of travel and other schedule interruptions?  Online giving provides a way to strengthen your faithfulness.

You can help your church.  Through online giving, you expedite your gift, simplify our accounting, and will help to strengthen our base of regular support.

You can encourage faith and faithfulness in the lives of fellow believers.  As you plan and prioritize your giving, you will lead the way for others to grow and mature in their spiritual stewardship. Being a forerunner in this new area of planned giving, you can provide personal testimony and example for others to follow.





Q:  Which account do I choose?

When you give online, you may select and give to the Budget/Tithe (Ministry Action Plan), the Bridge Campaign (Building Fund) or you can provide a special offering to Missions (Contributions to the missions offering will be divided between International, North American, and Texas mission efforts through National and State Conventions).





Q:  When are gifts processed?

All gifts are processed per your directions when you sign up.





Q:  What if I want to cancel or change my online giving?

You are able to edit or stop recurring giving at any time.  After you log on and are on the “Choose Payment Type” page, look under “Current Recurring Payments” and click on the pencil icon.  This will take you to the “Modify Recurring Payment” where you will see tabs at the bottom of the page to edit or stop your recurring payments.  If you have any questions, you may contact us at (903)663-7349.





Q:  Can I use a credit card for online giving?

At this time, we are not accepting credit cards for online giving.  The online gifts are debited to your bank or savings account.





Q:  Will my online gifts be included on my Statement of Contributions?

Yes, they will be included.





Q:  How can I get a receipt of my online gift?

You may print out your confirmation screen as your receipt.  Remember, your gift will appear on your regular statement of contributions as well!





Q:  What about my offering envelopes?

Envelopes are provided and mailed to Mobberly Baptist Church members to assist in establishing faithful patterns of giving and to provide records of gifts.  If you choose online giving, you may still use your envelope to return during our Sunday worship services as a testimony and reminder of your faith and faithfulness to God.  Simply write “online gift” on the outside of the envelope and this will provide a way for you to participate during services of worship.
