For donors who prefer digital payments, we offer two fast and secure options: Zelle and CashApp. Follow the guide below to make sure your generosity is processed safely.

Why Use Online Giving?

• Transparent: All contributions are tracked directly to the church’s financial accounts.
• Secure: Both Zelle and CashApp use encryption and two‑factor authentication.

2. Select “Send Money” and choose Zelle as the transfer method.
3. Enter our church’s Zelle email address: donate@debrengenet.org.
4. Specify the amount you wish to give and add a brief note, e.g., “Youth Ministry Fund”.

Verifying Your Donation

After you complete the transfer, you will receive:

If you do not receive a confirmation within 24 hours, please contact our office at (973) 555‑0123 or email finance@debrengenet.org.

Common Questions

Is my personal information shared?

No. Zelle and CashApp keep your banking details private; the church only receives the transaction amount and your name.

Can I set up a recurring donation?

Both platforms support scheduled payments. In Zelle, set up a recurring transfer through your bank’s “Scheduled Payments” feature. In CashApp, use the “Auto‑Pay” option under the $Cashtag profile.

Other Ways to Give

For those who prefer traditional methods, you can mail a check payable to “Debre Genet Amanuel Ethiopian Orthodox Church” to 123 Main Street, West Orange, NJ 07052. All contributions, regardless of method, support the same mission.

Thank you for your generosity. Your gifts empower us to continue offering worship, education, and outreach to the entire West Orange community.
