2. Check or Cash?
For many people, having a checkbook or cash on hand is a thing of the past. With so many of our transactions being handled online or through the use of bank cards, these methods have quickly become the most immediate ways we respond to our daily business needs.

3. Simply give
As a result, it has become almost instinctual for us to reach for our phones or cards when we have a desire to contribute to a cause or organization that speaks to our heart.

4. Giving made simple
There is something about seeing good done in the world that we naturally want to support. So it actually helps everyone when giving is made easy. Recognizing this, First Congregational Church of Boulder has instituted an easy to use text to give system in partnership with ACS Technologies.

5. Not just simple…easy
With this new platform, people who want to contribute to the mission and ministries of the Church or even pay for events hosted here will be able to do so through their smart devices. And you don’t have to be a tech genius to use it. The first set up takes two minutes and after that it is as easy as sending a text message, selecting where you want to contribute, and clicking “GIVE”. This is how it works:

That’s pretty much it!
