Giving Options / Vanco to Church Center Switch

we are TRANSITIONING TO
CHURCH CENTER giving

We previously used Vanco but are transitioning to Church Center for online giving. This change is mutually beneficial for you and Christ’s Church. 

  • Lower fees for donors and the church

  • More efficient because it integrates with church systems already in place

  • Easy access to giving and donation history in the church center app

  • Payments are processed securely through a Level 1 PCI (Payment Card Industry) Service Provider

If you have an account with Vanco, Please follow these instructions to learn how to switch over to Planning Center:

1. Log into Vanco here.

2. Cancel recurring Vanco donations.

After confirming cancellation, you will get a confirmation message on Vanco, and an email.

3. Finally, set up your recurring donations
with Planning Center.

You can donate from a web browser or Church Center app. Check out this video for an overview of the online giving process, and then read the rest of the article for more information.

4. Make a Donation

If you are accessing your church's donation form through a direct link, you can donate without logging into Church Center. If you give via the mobile app, log in to Church Center, then tap the Give button to access the donation form. Tap the More button if you don't see the Give button at the bottom.

Choose the fund(s) you want to give to.

  1. If you decide to set up recurring donations, choose the frequency of the donation and the date that the recurring donation starts.

  2. Choose payment methods you've saved in the past, or add a new bank account or debit/credit card to complete your donation.

    If you're using Safari on Mac or iOS and your
    church has enabled this feature, you can donate
    using Apple Pay .

  3. Check the box if you want to cover the processing fee for the donation. This option will only appear if your church has enabled this feature.

    Cover the Fee is a US-only feature, so it is unavailable in Canada.

The Vanco App will be active until Aug 30. Please update you online giving to the Church Center App.
