Generosity is one of the many ways we reflect God. God owns everything and He is a gracious giver.  Once we recognize that all we have has been given to us by Him, we realize that we are only managers of what we’ve been given, so we should work to manage it well. And giving is one of the best ways we demonstrate our thankfulness to God.

Online and Mobile Giving (Please scroll all-the-way down the page)

Online Giving allows congregants to easily give through our secure website.  Sign-up take minutes and you can choose from one-time gifts or create recurring payments. Gifts or Payments can be done with debit/credit cards or an ACH Bank Transfer. You can give safely through our website because our page has the proper SSL Certificates. SSL Certificates, sometimes called digital certificates, are used to establish a secure encrypted connection between a browser (user’s computer) and a server (website). The SSL connection protects sensitive data, such as credit card information, exchanged during each visit (session). Websites that have SSL certificated will have this green padlock in their URL. httpsGreenPadlock   Scroll down the page to view our online giving form and see details about Mobile Giving.

Mobile Giving allows congregants to easily give through texting and cell phones.

To donate by text, a donor simply:

  1. Texts the amount they’d like to give to our mobile giving number, (607) 333-7858.  We suggest that you add this number to your contacts and give it a name like “AMBC Giving.”  That way you can quickly identify and pull up this number in the future.
  2. If you have donated by text before, you will receive a confirmation text in response that your gift has been received successfully and you are done
  3. If it’s the first time you have donated by text, you will be given a link and asked to supply your payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account). This payment source will then be linked with your phone number so that, in the future, all you will need to do is text in the amount and do not need to reenter your payment information.
