Giving to AUMC just became even easier! While you can currently give by way of the offering plate on Sunday mornings or with our direct draft option, we can now offer you the chance to do all of your giving in our safe and secure online format.

If you are taking advantage of our direct draft system, your are currently limited to a once-per-month draft on the 15^th of the month.  The new Online Giving option allows you to control your giving with the freedom to choose any date in the month for your account to be drafted, as well as to give multiple times within a month.  You may choose to have your contribution debited from your Checking Account or may choose to use a Debit or Credit Card.*

If you are currently giving to AUMC through our offering plates on Sunday mornings, we invite you to enjoy the ease and convenience of giving online.  No more remembering your checkbook as you rush out the door to church.  Online giving lets you give as often as you like, from the convenience of your home.
