Website processing of financial gifts provides a fast, convenient, and secure way for you to give one-time gifts or recurring donations by credit card (Visa/MasterCard/AMEX) or by electronic check. To make an electronic check payment, you will need to provide the bank routing number and account number that appear at the bottom of a check. Gifts can be designated for Friends Church General Fund, Global Freedom, or Helping Hands Fund.

If this is your first experience with the Friends Church on-line giving system, we recommend that you create a profile. This stores your information so that it is unnecessary to re-enter it with each gift.

*By contributing to this project, donors acknowledge that the church has full authority to apply contributions designated for this project to other purposes in the event the project is canceled or oversubscribed.

You can give cash during weekend worship services, place in one of our *Bronze Boxes, or drop it off at the Friends Church offices during normal weekday business hours. We also have giving envelopes available in our church office if you would like us to track your cash donations.

*Bronze Boxes – Throughout the Worship Center, primarily on the back walls we have locked bronze boxes in which you can safely and anonymously place your check or cash. These boxes are collected on a regular basis.

Checks or money orders can be given in four ways:

1. Placed in the offering plate during weekend services
2. Placed in one of the *Bronze Boxes in the worship Center
3. Dropped off at the Friends Church offices
4. Mailed to Friends Church, 5091 Mountain View Ave., Yorba Linda, CA, 92886

*Bronze Boxes – Throughout the Worship Center, primarily on the back walls we have locked bronze boxes in which you can safely and anonymously place your check or cash. These boxes are collected on a regular basis.

Simply visit your bank’s website and create a bill pay account for Friends Church with our address – 5091 Mountain View Ave., Yorba Linda, CA, 92886. Specify whether your gift is for General Fund, Global Freedom or Helping Hands. Funds which are not specified will automatically default to the General Fund.
