Text Giving

Give by Text – we also offer giving your offerings and donations by text! In much less time than it takes to write a check and address an envelope, you can now make your contribution to St. James with a quick text message.  To get started, text your donation with the dollar sign (example: $5) to 610-546-2102.  You’ll receive a registration link.  Click the link and enter your contact and payment information.  Then click “Process”.  You’ll receive a verification by text and a receipt by email.  For future giving, simply send a text with the amount you wish to give to Current (default fund) and it will process automatically.  Use text codes to give to other funds.
