Give
At Cedar Crest, we view everything—including our giving—in light of worshiping the Triune God. We believe God is the owner of all things, we are his stewards, and giving is an investment in his kingdom, people, and eternity.
Your generosity makes the ministries of Cedar Crest possible. Thank you!

Fund Descriptions
Core Ministries
Provides for the day-to-day operations of the church, including ministries, staff salaries, and facility upkeep. We recommend that our church family tithes here.
Texting designation = “core”
Faith Commitment
Additional giving which covers approximately one-third of our Worldwide Outreach budget to further global missions, a key tenet of our mission statement.
Texting designation = “faith”
Deacons Benevolence Fund
Additional giving that enables our Deacons to meet the physical needs of our congregation, the Lehigh Valley community, and outside caring ministries (changes month-to-month).
Texting designation = “deacons”
The Benevolence Fund for the month of August will go towards storm repair at Victory Valley Camp.
Over the 4th of July weekend, the camp suffered power outages for four days and had numerous structures damaged. Many downed trees remain to be cleaned up. Damage costs exceed $15,000. However, they were able to hold a full week of camp for which they are thankful.
Giving Moment
Every Sunday morning we incorporate a “Giving Moment,” a time to reflect on how we are giving back to God, the one who owns and gives all things.
Some people take this time during the service to give online or in person.
FAQ
Church Center is safe and secure way to connect and engage with Cedar Crest, including through giving! Learn more about Church Center.
While we allow the use of credit cards for online tithes and offerings, we still strongly encourage the use of ACH/bank giving rather than credit card for two primary reasons:
- Although many pay off their credit cards each month, many also do not. We do not want to encourage someone to go into debt and pay interest on gifts given to the church. We offer the opportunity to give by credit card as a convenience to those who manage their finances in a God-honoring way.
- With ACH/bank giving, we pay the lowest processing fees possible. When using a credit card, as much as 3% of your gift can go to cover processing fees.
Help: Please do not hesitate to call our church office to help you setup ACH/bank Giving at 610-432-2200.
You can access your giving statements on Church Center under the “Me” page.
