Donation Policy

Effective Date: March 10, 2026

Houston Memorial Church is grateful for the generosity and support of those who contribute to our ministry. This Donation Policy outlines the terms and conditions related to financial contributions made through our website at https://houstonmemorial.church.

Purpose of Donations

Donations made through our website are voluntary contributions that support the mission, ministries, outreach efforts, and operational needs of Houston Memorial Church.

Unless otherwise specified by the donor through the giving form, contributions may be used for general ministry purposes at the discretion of church leadership.

Online Giving

Our website may allow individuals to make financial contributions through a secure online giving platform.

Online donations may include:

  • One-time gifts

  • Recurring donations

  • Designated contributions to specific funds or ministries (when available)

All online payments are processed through a secure third-party payment processor. Houston Memorial Church does not store full credit card or bank account information on our servers.

Recurring Donations

If you choose to set up a recurring donation, you authorize the payment processor to charge your selected payment method according to the schedule you choose.

You may modify or cancel recurring donations at any time through the giving platform or by contacting the church.

Refund Policy

Donations are generally considered non-refundable, as they are immediately used to support ministry operations.

However, refund requests may be considered in cases such as:

  • Duplicate transactions

  • Processing errors

  • Unauthorized use of a payment method

Refund requests should be submitted within 30 days of the transaction.

Donation Receipts

Donors may receive an electronic receipt for their contribution at the time of the donation.

Year-end contribution statements may also be provided for tax reporting purposes when applicable.

Security

Houston Memorial Church takes reasonable measures to ensure that online donation transactions are processed securely through reputable payment providers.

However, no system can guarantee absolute security, and users make donations at their own discretion.
