Giving - Community of Hope

Support Our Ministry

We rely entirely on God's provision through your generosity to support our ministry. We have only two staff members, both part-time, and we meet in a rented space on Sunday mornings. This keeps our operating costs low so that we can give more of our income to directly support the needs of others.

Please select the giving method you would prefer to use below, and thank you for your generosity!

A Note on Processing Fees: When giving via credit card, there is a transaction fee of $0.42 + 2.74% of the donation amount. If you would like more of your gift to go directly to our ministries, you can choose the checking or savings account option inside the Vanco portal using your routing and account number, which carries a lower fee of $0.24 + 1% of the donation amount, or utilize our Zelle option to have 100% of your donation go to Community of Hope.

Zelle

Thank you for partnering with us to support the ministry and work of our church! Giving via Zelle is a secure, fast, and convenient option. Because Zelle transfers funds directly from your bank account to ours, 100% of your gift goes directly to the church without any processing fees deducted.

How to Give via Zelle in 4 Easy Steps

Step 1: Open Your Banking App

Log into your regular mobile banking app (such as Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.) or the standalone Zelle app, and navigate to Send Money with Zelle.

Step 2: Enter Our Registered Email

Add our church as a recipient by entering our dedicated giving email address:

treasurer@hope68.com (Tip: We highly recommend copying and pasting this email directly into your app to prevent typos.)

Step 3: Verify the Confirmation Name

Before you enter an amount or hit send, your banking app will display the official legal name registered to the account.

CRITICAL: Please verify that the recipient name appears exactly as:

Community of Hope Church Northwest

If you do not see this exact name, stop and double-check the email address for typos.

Step 4: Add Your Info in the "Memo" Field

Because Zelle does not automatically share your mailing address or giving details with our bookkeeper, you must use the "Memo" or "Note" field in your banking app before confirming the transfer.

Please type the following into the memo line:

Your Full Name (and spouse's name if giving together)
Your Mailing Address (Required if you would like an end-of-year tax receipt)

Example Memo Text: John & Jane Doe, 123 Main St, Tomball TX 77375

A Quick Note on Security & Refunds

To protect the church's resources against modern digital fraud, please note that our financial team enforces a strict security policy. If a digital transfer is ever sent to us in error, no immediate electronic refunds will be issued via Zelle. Following verification and a standard 14-day clearance period to ensure the original funds have fully cleared, we will issue any approved refunds via a traditional paper check.

If you have any questions about your giving or need assistance, please contact the treasurer directly at treasurer@hope68.com

Credit, Debit, Checking or Savings via Vanco

If you prefer to give using a credit or debit card, or a direct bank draft from your checking or savings account, we process these gifts securely through Vanco, a trusted financial platform built specifically for churches and non-profits.

Through our secure Vanco portal, you can easily make a one-time gift or set up automated, recurring donations so your tithe is taken care of even when you are traveling.

What to Expect When Giving via Vanco

Because Vanco maintains the highest level of strict digital payment security, our giving portal is hosted directly on their secure servers. When you click the giving link below, a new browser tab will open taking you to our official church Vanco page.

To ensure your donations are tracked accurately for your year-end tax statements, the portal requires a quick, one-time setup:

Create your secure profile: On your first visit, you will be prompted to create a username and password. This keeps your payment information safe and allows you to securely log in at any time.
Choose your frequency: You can choose to make a quick one-time donation or set up a recurring donation (weekly or monthly).
Select your giving method: Credit / debit card, checking or savings account
Manage anytime: Once your profile is created, you can log back in whenever you want to update your card information, change your recurring giving amount, or view your online giving history.
