Online Giving Portal and GivePlus Mobile App:
You can give securely thru our online giving portal by clicking on the “Give Now” button below. You can also give securely on your smart phone. Just download the “Vanco GivePlus” mobile app on your smartphone, search for churches by zip code 58103, then choose Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church and start giving!
Both the website and the mobile app allow you to make a one-time donation or set up a recurring donation by using your checking or savings account or by using a credit* or debit card.
* Please note: By offering the credit card option, Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church is not encouraging you to incur any debt in order to make donations to the church.
Automatic EFT Withdrawals:
This is an alternative to the Online Giving Portal for those who prefer to complete a paper authorization form. Just like via the Online Giving Portal, you can set up automatic monthly, semi-monthly or weekly withdrawals for a specific amount directly from your checking or savings account. This is a convenient way to ensure that your giving is consistent, even when you are out of town. Complete the Simply Giving Enrollment Form and return it to the church office, along with a cancelled check. Click here to print the enrollment form or request one from the church office.
Church Office or Through the Mail:
You can drop off a donation in the church office during the church’s regular office hours. You can also mail a check to the church at any time. (Please note that it is not advised to mail cash.)
Mailed gifts can be sent to:
Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church
2601 23rd Ave. SW
Fargo, ND 58103
Stocks, Mutual Funds and IRA Distributions:
Publicly-traded securities such as stocks and mutual funds can be donated to the church and may provide significant tax benefits to the donor. Also, retired individuals may donate some or all of their IRA’s Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) to the church by having the distribution check written to Beautiful Savior and mailed directly to the church. This may also have a significant tax benefit for the donor. Talk to your tax advisor for more information on these types of donations.
In addition to your direct financial contributions,
following are some other ways to support Beautiful Savior financially:
