Many people never carry a checkbook or write a check. Many others seldom ever\u00a0carry cash. Today&#8217;s tech-savvy generation\u00a0shops online and pays bills online, so giving online makes a lot of sense. It is faster, easier, and safer than writing checks, because electronic gifts are instant and cannot be lost or stolen. With the ability to set up recurring gifts,\u00a0scheduled monthly giving is simple, and if you give through our secure login portal you can easily access your giving history with a single click.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Online Giving Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are offering two\u00a0ways to give online:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-504\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/CCB-menu-giving-259x300.png\" alt=\"CCB-menu-giving\" width=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/CCB-menu-giving-259x300.png 259w, https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/CCB-menu-giving.png 496w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/>Recurring gifts<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0Those who attend EMC regularly have the option to <a href=\"https:\/\/ecityemc.ccbchurch.com\/login.php\" target=\"_blank\">log into our church management software<\/a>, CCB.
