Before you can use any of the features with Faith Teams Giving, you need to setup and activate Online Giving for your church.

Step-by-step instructions are below. You will need the legal information of your church (according to the IRS) and some personal information for an Owner/Legal Representative of your church.

NOTE: The financial data for your church will not be reported to the IRS for this person; this is simply for validation of your account and protection from fraudulent activity.  Also, this information is not stored within Faith Teams, and it will not be visible to anybody once the information is entered into the system. Our payment processor runs a background check to check for illegal activity and to validate the account.

Go to “Tools & Admin” in the menu, and select “Your Church Profile”.   Then click “Setup Online Giving”.

Click the button to Activate Online Giving in your account.

1. Input the Official Registered Name of your church, and your Federal Tax ID / IEN
   
2. Click “Update” for this section.

1. Input the Address, City, State, Zip Code, Phone Number and Website for your church.

1. Input the NAME & Personal Info of a person who is a legal representative of your church. 
   • NOTE: Some people are nervous about inputting their SSN.  We do not retain this info anywhere.  It is simply for validating the authenticity of your account.

As you successfully complete each section, it should not be RED any longer.  If you are missing data, or if any data is incorrect, you will be prompted to try again. 

If all the sections are no longer Red, you should be Ready to Go!
