Letter from the church office
Dear Church family,
Our mission is to better steward every gift contributed to our church, and that’s why, as of this week, we’re beginning to use Breeze as our new online and text-giving platform.
We truly appreciate that many of you took advantage of Sharefaith either through one-time or recurring gifts, and we’re excited to transition over to Breeze for future online and text donations.
A lot of thought went into switching giving providers, and ultimately, because of all the benefits that come with using Breeze, we decided it was the right move for us. First, we already started using Breeze as our church management system, and online and text giving is built-in. This means we no longer have to pay a monthly fee for giving software and we can put that money back into the church. Plus, it helps us consolidate tools and manage all gifts in one secure system making daily admin tasks much easier (such as running year-end giving statements for our members).
Our goal is to turn off Sharefaith by April 1, but we encourage you to start using Breeze right away! Here’s how to get started.
Next Steps for One-Time Gifts
Going forward, if you’d like to give a one-time gift, you can give using Breeze by following any of the "Give" links in this email or going to thebeachchurch.breezechms.com/give/online and following the simple instructions on the page.
Or, text the amount you’d like to donate (example: 50) to our text-to-give number (850) 787-9273 and follow the prompts for a one-time set up. In the future, you’ll simply be able to text the gift amount to our giving number and hit send!
Next Steps for Recurring Givers
If you’re a Recurring Giver in Sharefaith, please note that your automatic gifts have been cancelled within their system.
· Please click any of the "Give" links in this email or go to thebeachchurch.breeze.chms.com/give/online
· Enter the amount you'd like to give
· Click the dropdown that shows the words “one time gift’ and select a different frequency from the menu (weekly, every two weeks, monthly, yearly)
· Select your Payment Method and click “Continue"
· Now, enter your Contact and Payment Information and choose if you would like to cover the processing fees
· Click the "Give $" button
We truly appreciate your help as we make this transition. It is through your generous gifts that we’re able to make a real impact in our community when people need it most. We’re so grateful for your continued support which allows The Beach Church to be faithful to our mission.
