Your gift could go even further – ask your employer if they provide donation matching!

We have two ways to give online to Custer Road UMC: Arena and Pushpay.
Please note: Starting July 1, 2025, a 4% credit card fee will be added to all credit card charges.
Why Arena?
- The Arena giving site allows users to create one-time or schedule recurring gifts AND access contribution history all in one place.
- Contribution history shows ALL gifts given, not just those online.
- The site is mobile friendly but does not have a separate app for mobile devices (unless you bookmark the page or add to your home screen).
- Click the “Give via Arena” button above to open the Arena website.
- Click the blue button that says “You are not logged in. Click here to log in.”
- Sign in with your UserID and Password.
- Click “GIVE” in the top menu bar, or the click “HERE” to give link.
- Click “GIVE ONLINE” link in the blue box.
- Follow the prompts to submit a one-time gift or set up a recurring gift.
- Click the “Give via Arena” button above to open the Arena website.
- Click the blue button that says “You are not logged in. Click here to log in.”
- Scroll down and click the blue “REGISTER” button.
- Fill out the screen for New Account Request. Choose your own User ID and Password. Click the “REGISTER” button.
- After registering, you can setup a recurring or one time gift by following the on screen instructions.
Note: Your account must be verified and linked to your individual record in the Custer Road UMC Finance Office database before you will be able to see your past contribution history. You will receive an email once you are verified.
Why Pushpay?
- One-time gifts and/or repeating payments can both be scheduled through Pushpay.
- Only shows the history of gifts made online through Pushpay, not gifts given via check, cash, etc.
- Pushpay offers a mobile-friendly app.
You can pay through Pushpay by clicking on the button above or by downloading and installing the Pushpay app. Then follow the giving prompts.
Consider an Endowment Gift
The vision of the Custer Road UMC Permanent Endowment and Planned Giving Ministry is to provide members and friends of Custer Road UMC the opportunity to make significant gifts to the church, either as direct gifts or through estate planning and bequests.
