Give
Generosity changes things.
Giving isn't a transaction — it's worship. God loves a cheerful giver, and every gift, of every size, given with joy, becomes food boxes, camp scholarships, and gospel hope in Franklin and around the world.

Good questions
Giving FAQ
Honest answers about security, taxes, and where your gift goes.
Is online giving secure?
Yes. All gifts are processed by your church's dedicated giving provider using bank-level encryption and PCI-compliant systems. Shepherd never touches or stores your card or bank information — it simply embeds your provider's secure form.
Can I set up recurring giving?
Absolutely. Choose weekly, every-two-weeks, or monthly when you give, and your gift will repeat automatically. You can pause, adjust, or cancel any time from your giving account — no phone calls required.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. Your church is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so every gift is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. A year-end giving statement is emailed to you each January.
What payment methods work?
Bank transfer (ACH), all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. ACH bank transfer has the lowest processing cost, which means more of your gift goes directly to ministry.
