Online Giving

Why Give Online?

Giving reflects a grateful heart and hundreds of individuals and families give generously and joyfully every week to continue the ministry at Next Level Church.  Where we spend our money, our hearts follow. And, as a church family, we consider it a privilege to give our money to such a worthy cause.

  • Every week more than 400 kids and teenagers are being taught that God loves them here at NLC!

  • Every week men and women are learning they matter to God and finding purpose in their lives.

  • Every week people are being saved from addictions and finding help to move forward.

  • Every week marriages and families are being restored.

  • Every week hope and help is being brought to the needy, both locally and globally.

You can use online giving three ways (debit card, automatic withdrawal or credit card) to make a one-time contribution or set up a recurring schedule for your tithe and/or Offerings.  Here are a few more benefits we frequently hear about online giving.

  • It's a step of faith...deciding in advance to give faithfully.
  • It allows you to give consistently...even when you're not at church.
  • It allows you to focus on the service when you're at church.

Security


At Next Level Church, we use an online database called Fellowship One. Their system allows us to provide access to your contribution records and allows you to make donations online. They provide all of the security for the system. This system is used by churches throughout the country and has been fully tested by them.

There are two aspects of security related to the system. First, Fellowship One provides data security using the latest security technology. The following statement is from their security documentation: "[the system] utilizes the most current encryption technology to maintain the security of your data. Every parameter passed in the hyperlinks is fully encrypted. Additionally, the Login module handles passwords using what is known in technical terms as salted hash. In laymen’s terms, this means it would take 50 computers (running constantly) continuously presenting password combinations four years to discover the password."

The second aspect of security relates to account creation. When you first create a new account in the system, you will be able to donate immediately, but you will not have access to any previous contribution information. Before that can happen, we must manually link your previous information to the account you created.

In order to verify the authenticity of the account request, we will ensure that all of your data matches our current records (e.g., address, phone number, and email address). If there is any question, we will contact you via email before creating the link. Since this is a manual process, we will perform these steps approximately once a week, but if you would like to speed up this process, you can send an email to giving@nextlevelchurch.com.

When you create your account, you will determine your own login id and password. If you forget your login id or password, you can have the system email it to you by entering the email address that you used when you created your account. If you need help or cannot remember the email address you used, you can contact us at giving@nextlevelchurch.com. You can also change your password at any time.

Please help us keep your information safe by protecting your login information. Access to sensitive personal and financial information can be gained by letting someone else use your account or by leaving the information for someone else to see. Next Level Church will never call you to ask for your login information.
