PAR (Pre-Authorized Remittance)
"I give by Pre-Authorized Remittance because my church is one of my priorities"
"Whether or not I am there, my church has on-going commitments every week that need my offering. My church is important to me, and so is my financial commitment to its work. That is why I use the PAR system to fulfill my commitment."
If you have automatic debits from your bank account to pay for insurance, cable TV, taxes, fuel, or mortgage, then you already understand the PAR principle. It means regular contributions throughout the year.
Many people use the PAR system for their church offerings, finding it a convenient way to take care of their regular commitments to the church month by month. You can participate in this program too.
