Online Giving FAQ

Can I give offering in person?
Yes, offering can be given in person during Sunday Worship Service. Both cash and checks are accepted.

Can I mail in offering?
Yes. Offering can be mailed to 5273 Prospect Rd. #161 San Jose, CA 95129. Only checks are accepted.

What platform are we using for online/e-giving?
LBCSJ now uses Stripe (via Churchtrac) to facilitate online giving. A general FAQ can be found here.

Are there any fees associated with online giving?
Stripe collects a small percentage of the amount given, as well as a small fee for each transaction, which is paid by LBCSJ. Both credit card, debit card, and ACH transactions are permitted. All transaction methods are acceptable, but please consider an ACH transfer, which has the lowest fees.

How do I give via online giving?
You can access the giving portal via https://lbcsj.churchtrac.com/give. Please note that a Churchtrac account and login are required. For LBCSJ members, a Churchtrac account should already exist. For non-members, you can create an account or reach out lbcsj.finance@gmail.com for additional instructions.

Why am I asked to create an account or log into ChurchTrac to give offering?
Creating an account and/or logging into ChurchTrac has multiple benefits, namely that you can view your offering history through your account and your year-end tax statements will be automatically generated. If you prefer not to use ChurchTrac, in-person giving and mailed checks are always welcome.

How do I give through the LBCSJ website?
The LBCSJ website now has a Giving button, which will take you directly to the LBCSJ online giving portal.
