eGive

Our church is a financially independent organization and will not be receiving funding from any denominations or outside churches (including North Point Ministries). Instead, we will be raising support entirely from those across the country who believe in our vision and from the members of our congregation in the Fort Walton Beach area. If you would like to support us financially, you can make a one-time donation or commit to give on a monthly basis. We are a church, Beachside Community Church, that meets all requirements of Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) and have recognized tax-exempt status from the IRS. So all of your donations are tax-deductible. Online giving is the easiest method for processing whereby you authorize your bank to deduct a specified amount from your account without having to write a check. The system we use is eGive.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How does eGive work?

eGive electronically transfers cash from your personal checking account to Beachside Community Church. The system allows you to make a one-time contribution, designate recurring contributions or a combination of both. Encryption technology is used to ensure that your information is transmitted securely. The information you provide is used solely for the purpose of processing your contribution. If you wish to discontinue giving, or if you wish to change the amount and frequency of your giving, you simply change your giving instructions at eGive.

Is eGive safe?
