New Ways to Give to St. Paul's
Thanks to all of you who have made your 2022 pledge!
We are excited to announce some new and convenient options for making pledge payments and other contributions to St Paul’s!
We have put this variety of options in place to (1) provide flexibility and convenience to support donors in making their pledge payments (2) reach potential new donors more easily and (3) improve the efficiency of our management of donations.
It’s now possible to make electronic transfers (ACH) from your bank account to the church’s bank account and to pay online by credit card on our website or through a secure link. We will continue to accept PayPal payments, and of course, you can continue to pay by check.
Below is a summary of the current payment methods and associated fees:

- If you choose to donate to cover bank fees, these donations are tax deductible and will be included on your contribution statement. Fees that you cover are not applied to your pledge total, though, because they are considered a donation in addition to your pledge
