To facilitate online giving with no transaction fees, we have partnered with Zeffy, a registered B Corp™, trusted by over 25,000 nonprofits throughout North America, and has helped organizations raise over $500M.
100% of all your gifts go directly to Ballard’s Bridge Baptist Church.
Zeffy relies entirely on voluntary contributions from donors. On all forms, donors have the option (but are never obliged) to contribute to Zeffy.
To opt out of contributing to Zeffy, click the “Other” option when asked what percentage you would like to contribute Zeffy and type “0.”

Credit Cards or Debit Cards 💳
You can easily donate using major credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, and Amex, as well as CVV debit cards. This option is available for all donations up to $4,999. To pay via credit card, simply select the credit card payment method, enter the required information, and click on confirm.
ACH / PAD 🏦
For donations exceeding $4,999, we offer the ACH (Automated Clearing House) / PAD (Pre-Authorized Debit) payment method. To proceed, simply select this option and click "donate" or "complete" at the bottom of the page. You'll then be prompted to provide your banking information. ACH/PAD transactions are secure and follow industry standards, just like credit card payments.
Apple Pay / Google Pay 🍎
If you have Apple Pay or Google Pay enabled on your devices and browsers, these options will be automatically available during the donation process. No additional configuration is needed.

The data collected by the nonprofit you supported can be seen by the nonprofit in their dashboard (i.e. donor names/addresses/payment method - this is only written credit card, ACH, or manual). Any personal information you shared with a nonprofit will only be used by them for purposes linked to your transaction.

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus as our God, Savior, and King. There is nothing we can give to earn salvation. Our giving should be an overflow of gratitude for God’s love for us.
God loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor. 9:7) and he calls all of us to take up our cross and follow him (Luke 9:23).
Ultimately, money is but one of many stewardships God has given to us. So along with our time, our abilities, and our relationships, we should take our money and make “the best use of the time” (Eph. 5:16) for the glory of God. See every dollar as an opportunity to bring glory to God.
Paul also instructs each Christian to give “in keeping with his income” (1 Cor. 16:2, NIV)—in other words, give as much as he is able. Furthermore, if one were to give so much that he was unable to provide for his family’s basic needs, the apostle Paul would say “he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” (1 Tim. 5:8)
Two practical considerations of wisdom:
Since the local church is your primary source of teaching and involvement in ministry, what priority should it have in your choice of giving?
Consider giving regularly and deliberately as Paul told the Corinthians to set aside money on the first day of every week (1 Cor. 16:2).
Thank you for your generosity to help expand the mission of God!
