Please make a pledge to support Holy Comforter by committing to donate a certain amount weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. A pledge of any amount counts you as a participant in the financial side of stewardship at Holy Comforter and allows for responsible planning for the budget year. Remember, if your income situation changes during the year you can always call Julia, Holy Comforter’s Financial Administrator at 336-227-4251 or ([email protected]) to make a change to your pledge.
CASH GIFTS
The simplest way to support Holy Comforter is through cash gifts. Creative gifts of assets can also be given to help the Church while providing charitable deductions, and possible tax savings.
SUNDAY ALMS BASIN
This is the most traditional method. You will place your offering in the plate as your response to God’s grace through the word read, preached, and sung; offering envelopes are provided upon request to parishioners and generic envelopes are provided in the pews.
BILL PAY
Many banks offer a bill pay service, through which parishioners initiate a check to be sent directly to the church via US Mail.
ONLINE "REALM"
Online Giving is also available here. You may chose which fund you want your donation to be applied to. It is also possible give once or multiple times and even offset the processing fees.

AUTOMATIC DRAFT
You can request an automatic draft directly from your bank account on one or both of the 4th and the 19th days of each month. This will be managed though our Financial Administrator, Julia Buffington ([email protected]).
DISTRIBUTIONS
Creative gifts of assets can also be given to help the Church while providing charitable deductions, and possible tax savings. We are grateful to our parishioners who fund their giving to Holy Comforter with securities. We remind you to please notify the Church office of any gifts of securities you intend to make. Please do not assume that the delivering brokerage will identify the donor of a gift of stocks or bonds; many do not. Without that information, we are unable to properly credit and acknowledge these gifts. If you have not received acknowledgement of a recent stock transfer gift, please contact Julia in the church. Also, we have established a more cost efficient account to receive your gifts of securities. Please contact Julia Buffington in the Church office at 336-227-4251 or email for our new delivery instructions.
