PAR Pre-Authorized Remittance Program for Congregational Members

Posted: June 8, 2020 |

Pre-Authorized Remittance Program (PAR)

If you have automatic debits from your bank account to pay for insurance, cable TV, taxes, fuel, or a mortgage, then you understand the PAR principle. It means regular offerings throughout the year, even when donors are unable to attend worship. PAR is a convenient way to make financial contributions in support of the ministries of both congregations and the wider church.

The PAR program is administered by the Department of Stewardship Services of the United Church of Canada according the donor’s wishes. Once a month, all PAR gifts are debited from donors’ accounts and then the total, less a service fee, is electronically transferred to local church accounts.

The PAR program package includes an overview, monthly report sample, and information for congregational members.
