Giving FAQs
What is the best way I can give?
Our preferred method for giving is directly to us through your Mobile Banking App.
This is simple to set up and manage through your banking app. You can find our banking details at the top of our Giving Envelope, available at each Sunday Service.
Is it easy to set up a Standing Order?
Yes, it is!
With standing orders, you are in complete control. You can set this up directly with your bank through online or mobile banking or by speaking to your bank. You then can set the date that you wish for the standing order to come out, the frequency with which it comes out and the amount. You are then able to amend this easily, changing your amount, the date or the frequency.
Does Living Waters Church incur a cost if I give by card?
If you give through your Mobile Banking App then there is no cost. Giving via cash or cheque can lead to bank charges being incurred over a certain limit.
If you choose to give by card via the Giving Envelope or through our website, then there is a small cost that Living Waters Church incurs. This is due to card processing fees. If you give online, you have the option to pay these costs yourself instead of Living Waters Church.
What is iKnow?
iKnow is the giving platform Living Waters Church have chosen to use and is trusted by many Churches in the UK. iKnow offer a simple solution to enable you to give through our website. It also provides other management tools which Living Waters Church currently use, offering effective integration.
