Why Setup Online Giving? Have you ever forgotten your checkbook on Sunday morning? Have you had good intentions to tithe regularly but run out of money by the time Sunday rolls around? With Online Giving, you can fix both of these problems.
Now, you can sign up for regular giving that will automatically deduct the amount you specify from your checking or savings account and transfer it to Kentwood Heights Baptist Church’s PayPal account. From there, the church treasurer can transfer the money to the church’s bank account where it will be used for the regular church budget, if undesignated, or as you have specified if you have given a one-time gift.
If you have any questions, please contact [email protected] or call us at (804) 723-8185 for technical assistance.
What you need before you begin To set up online giving you will need a PayPal account. If you do not already have one, it is an easy process to set one up.

General Information The following information is directly from PayPal. Wherever they say “subscription,” think “recurring gift” or “Tithe.”
PayPal Billing Cycles
How Billing Cycles and Recurring Payments Work PayPal attempts to collect recurring payments from subscribers on the day after the previous billing cycle or trial period ends. Billing cycles can be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, depending on the terms of the original subscription.
How Subscriptions with Weekly Billing Cycles Work For weekly billing cycles, recurring payments are collected on the same day of the week.
When Weekly Recurring Payments Are Due and Collected The subscription terms are:
• $10 USD a week; the subscriber signs up on Tuesday, December 23.
The subscriber is billed as follows:
• Tuesday, December 23 = $10.00 USD • Tuesday, December 30 = $10.00 USD • Tuesday, January 6 = $10.00 USD • and so on...
How Subscriptions with Monthly Billing Cycles Work For monthly billing cycles, recurring payments are collected on the same day of the month. If the initial recurring payment falls on the 31st, PayPal eventually adjusts the billing cycle to the 1st of the month. If the initial recurring payment falls on the 29th or 30th, PayPal adjusts the billing cycle to the 1st of the month on the following February.
When Monthly Recurring Payments Are Due and Collected on the 31st The subscription terms are:
• $25.99 USD a month; the subscriber signs up on Thursday, July 31.
The subscriber is billed as follows:
• Thursday, July 31 = $25.99 USD • Saturday, August 31 = $25.99 USD • Wednesday, October 1= $25.99 USD • Saturday, November 1= $25.99 USD

When Monthly Recurring Payments Are Due and Collected on the 30th The subscription terms are:

The subscriber is billed as follows:
• Tuesday, December 30 = $25.99 USD • Friday, January 30 = $25.99 USD • Sunday, March 1= $25.99 USD • Wednesday, April 1= $25.99USD • and so on...
