Giving

"Each one must give as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work."
2 Corinthians 9:7-8

Giving to the Lord is wholly different than contributing to a charity or your favorite nonprofit. It is a true expression that I acknowlege Jesus Christ as the owner and Lord overall of creation and my life in particular. It is an act of worship.

There are multiple ways to give to Pathway Community Church


Send a Check in the Mail
Pathway Community Church
PO Box 438
Mancelona, MI 49659

Online Bill Payment through your Bank
Most banks have a free option to send one-time or recurring gifts/payments through your online banking account. This is similar to sending a check in the mail, but instead your bank will electronically generate a check and send it through the mail to the Pathway Community Church office. This saves you time and postage. Plus, you can track your giving through your online banking account. Contact your bank to see if they provide this option.

Sunday Giving Box  
You can give through cash or check in the giving box during Sunday worship. Also, on the first Sunday of the month Pathway takes an additional offering at the end of the service called the Deacon Offering. This goes toward helping those within Pathway's body who have a particular financial need. This offering can be placed in the giving box and designated for the Deacon's Fund by placing it in a gold envelope (found among the seats in the sancturary), or by designating your gift in the memo section of your check.

Online Giving 
Through PayPal you can give using a debit card, bank account withdrawal, or through your own personal PayPal account. It is not necessary to get a PayPal account unless you want to give through a PayPal account. We ask that nobody incurs debt as a result of giving. For each transaction PayPal charges a transaction fee of 2.2% plus $.30.

Click the "Donate" button, and you will be taken to Pathway's PayPal online giving page. When you're reviewing your "donation" please indicate which ministry (General Fund or Deacon's Fund) area you'd like to assign your giving.
