We accept gifts designated to only a few specific accounts. These include tithes and offerings, missions general, approved missionaries and projects, and benevolence. All other CFC ministries are funded by your gifts to tithes and offerings.

If we want people to get out of debt, why does Christian Fellowship Church accept credit card donations?
Used within the parameters, debit and credit cards can be an efficient tool for payments and purchases. Many people now utilize them in place of cash or checks, and then pay off the balance in full each month. For these people, we offer the option of using a credit or debit card for their convenience. We strongly discourage those who have ongoing credit card debt from exercising this option.
