Planning Center Giving

How to Give to Castleton

On Jan 1, 2024, we are beginning the processes of switching over our giving platform away from OnlineGiving to Planning Center Giving. This is both easier to use and manage in the Church Center app AND will cost the church less in processing fees, so more of your gift goes to the ministries of Castleton.

Follow the detailed steps below or watch the quick highlight video to set you started. *Logging into your account on the Church Center App is the best and fastest way to set up giving.
