Electronic Funds Transfer

collection’. John Maxwell tells us that ‘consistent
giving facilitates consistent ministry'. The most
effective way to ensure that we give consistently is
by enrolling in the Fifth Church EFT program to
regularly and automatically transfer your donation
from your bank account to the church’s account. Sign
up forms are available in the Church office.
