Adventist giving has both a phone app and a website you can donate through: adventistgiving.org. Any donations made here are applied directly, with no percentage skimmed off, and your donations will come in your year-end receipt, seamlessly integrated with donations made in the church. If you haven’t yet picked-up your receipt, be sure to do so this coming Sabbath from the deacons’ table! May God bless us as we partner with him in faith through our finances.
