Here are ways that you can easily financially support Banner Elk Presbyterian Church and its missions outreach with your offerings and donations if you are not able to give during our worship services:
Checks
Write a check and mail it to:
Banner Elk Presbyterian Church
P.O. Box 158
Banner Elk, NC 28604-0158
We are unable to confirm receipt of each individual check, but you if are a regular contributor you will receive your usual statement every quarter and, of course, you receive a copy of the canceled check from your bank.
Bank Bill Pay
Many of our members use their bank’s online Bill Pay. If you already pay some of your bills this way, it is easy to add Banner Elk Presbyterian Church to your list of payees. When queried, use the address above and the telephone number 828-898-5406. Usually, you are able to schedule payments for one time or a regular basis. For most banks, this service is totally free and easy to set up on their website or app.
Credit Cards
We are able to accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express by clicking the image above or link below. After creating a profile, choose whether you are making a donation to the General Fund (that is, regular donations just like the Sunday collection plate) or to our monthly Daily Change offering to combat hunger. Make a one-time donation or set up regular payments. Choose to make your donation from your checking or savings account or using a debit or credit card, and you can choose to increase your donation by 2% to offset the processing fee. Click here to give your offering via a credit card.
Venmo
If you use the Venmo App on your phone, this is a convenient option. Venmo does not charge for sending money from a linked bank account, debit card, or your Venmo account. Simply search for our username @BEPC23 on your Venmo App or click here. As with any online payment service, be sure your security settings are set for maximum protection.
Memorial Gifts
If you are making a one-time gift in memory or in honor of someone, simply note that when using any of the payment options above.
Retirement Income
If you have retirement income from an IRA or the like, there may be advantages in making your payment directly from your retirement account. Talk to your financial adviser.
Stocks & Bonds
If you have stocks, bonds or any other assets that you would like to donate, please contact Dedy in our church office 828-898-5406.
Planned Giving
If you would like to gift life insurance, retirement assets, bequests, or trusts, please contact the office about our Permanent Funds Ministry.
Stewardship Campaign
Each August, our church has a Stewardship Campaign to update members about ministries and financial needs of our church. At the end of the month, members pledge a offering amount for the following year so our Finance Committee is able to create a budget.
