An Upcoming Change in Online Giving

To our Church Members and Friends,

We need your help in moving your online giving from Pushpay to Churchteams so we can reduce fees and better serve you, your families, and our community.

Thank you for your faithful support of Heritage United Methodist Church. Your generosity allows us to continue to serve our church, our community, and our world.

We are reaching out to each of our members and friends who have utilized our online giving platform through our payment processing vendor, Pushpay. In order to be better stewards of your contributions, we are changing our online giving tool to a platform called Churchteams. Our Finance Committee has decided it is prudent to make this transition as it will both save over $5,000 annually in fees and facilitate administrative tasks since we already use Churchteams to record member giving and create your giving statements.

We would like to shut off our old vendor system on November 30, 2021. In order to foster this change without disrupting your support we ask you to please undertake the following steps before the end of November:

#1) SET UP NEW GIVING WITH CHURCHTEAMS: You can go to our website (at https://heritageumc.com) and click the button to give online. This will now take you to our new Churchteams giving page, where you can make your new contribution and set up a Churchteams account. (Or from this email you can use this LINK to NEW online giving (Churchteams), which will take you directly to our new Churchteams giving page, where you can set up a contribution and create an account.)To set up your Churchteams profile and save time in the future, just leave the "Save Account" box checked when you make your first contribution.

AND

#2) CANCEL YOUR PUSHPAY GIVING: Use this LINK to OLD online giving (Pushpay) to cancel any scheduled contributions in our old system. Once you click the link and you are on the Pushpay giving page, in the upper right corner click 'Your Account' and then 'Manage Account' to login and disable your recurring giving and/or remove your payment method to avoid any unintended transactions.**With this change, if you are accustomed to using the Heritage app to process your giving, we ask that you transition to using the church website instead.
Please contact Tracey Walling, Bookkeeper, at traceyw@heritageumc.com or (727) 796-1329, extension 124, if you have any questions or need assistance.

Thank you again for your continued support of Heritage, where we are always working to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Sincerely,

Neil Yarian
