Having the SSL certification helps your parishioners and
followers to build trust in your church/ ministry website
that they can give safely to you without their personal
information being compromised
4 main things the visitor will notice to know that your
website is secured are:
1. The address bar will have a green background color to
indicate a higher level of security vetting, called
Extended Validation.
2. A tiny padlock will appear on the left-hand side of
the browser bar.
3. An SSL image will appear at the bottom of the
webpage. You can ask for a custom image for this but
most of the images generally used contain a p a d l o c k
with the sign, “SSL” or “Security,” and other information
that indicates a certificate exists for this website.
4. The URL for your website now starts with “https” to
indicate that your website is connected through a secure
server.

Online and Electronic giving portals

You have to go online and research the different
platforms offering on line giving resources available for your
country and decide on which one (s) your church/ ministry
feel comfortable using.
Many countries have different platforms providing that
service for general business organizations who do
ecommerce and also specializing in servicing faith based
organizations.
