Giving Your Resources
In Person Donation / Offering
Giving is an act of worship. God is worthy! Give either during any of Zion’s services using your giving envelope or with cash or a check placed in the offering plate as it is passed.
Give Online
On your computer you can set up a one-time or recurring donation on our Zion Lutheran Bethalto Online Giving page.
Or on your mobile device you can download the Give+ app from Apple Store or Google Play and search for Zion Bethalto.
Our online donations are handled securely via LCEF through VANCO.
Through Online Banking
Another giving option is to use the online bill pay service through your bank by setting up a recurring payment to Zion Lutheran Bethalto. Most banks have this service and many of them do it at no charge.
