Central has taken advantage of an opportunity we learned about from the District Superintendent. He informed us that the Virginia Conference Treasurer has made use of the power of our Connection and has negotiated with a vendor called VANCO the free short-term use of their on-line giving services for local churches. This service has now been set up for Central and is available two ways:
1. Using your computer or tablet access the Central website (https://centralumcstaunton.org) where you will find a link for Online Giving with VANCO under the Worship tab.
Or,
2. Using your phone or tablet download the free mobile app from VANCO. Go to your phone’s app store or Google Play and search for “GivePlus Church” to find the app quickly.
A video is available at https://vimeo.com/262292774 that will walk you through using the GivePlus app.
Whether you choose to use the link or the app, you have two options:
a) Create an online profile so you can easily log back in for future giving and want to be able to view the history of all your giving to Central UMC. This is the preferred option for CUMC members. Note that your gifts can be one-time or recurring.
b) Give as a guest without creating a profile. In this case you will not have access to your history of giving at Central.
You can give through your checking account or by credit/debit card. All transactions with VANCO are secure. You will receive a receipt for your donation via e-mail.
If you have any questions about online giving, contact our Administrative Assistant at the church, 540-886-3441. Or, e-mail Joe Hill, Finance Chair (hjosephhill@gmail.com).
