Giving is personal
A member can see their own giving history; designated finance administrators can reconcile contributions. Public reports omit donor identity and combine personal gifts.
PEOPLE MATTER MORE THAN DATA
Open finances.
Protected people.
Transparency shouldn't mean putting someone's hardship, address, or personal giving on display. Here's how our community portal is designed to care for both truth and privacy.
OUR COMMITMENTS
Honest reporting.
Thoughtful boundaries.
Requests have an audience
Prayer and assistance requests can be shared with all approved members, the requester's home group, or leadership only. The requester can choose whether their name is displayed to other members.
Assistance respects dignity
Uploaded utility bills are accessible to the requester and designated finance administrators—not publicly or to ordinary group members. Public expenses use neutral names and descriptions.
Account information
Member profiles can contain names, household names, contact information, and a chosen home group. The directory is available to approved members only. Each member controls which contact fields are shared there. Passwordless sign-in uses a short-lived email link; a remembered device can be revoked.
Leadership access
Authorized group hosts coordinate their local gatherings and may take part in the private leadership room. Finance administrators have additional access to giving and supporting documents, with actions recorded in a private audit trail.
Financial truth matters.
Only approved monthly reports appear on the public finances page. Imported bank descriptions are not published verbatim. Finance staff review and label transactions, and edits to published expense wording create a visible correction record. The published bookkeeping balance is not a substitute for an independent bank audit.
HOW THIS WEBSITE OPERATES
Clear expectations.
Third-party services
When configured, Stripe processes donations through its hosted checkout and sends payment confirmations. Bank statements can be uploaded privately by finance administrators; originals are discarded after extracting a redacted preview and draft transactions for review. Zoom is used through an approved member link. Those providers apply their own privacy terms.
Current stage
The Table is still being established. The portal must be securely configured and independently reviewed before it stores real bills, private family details, or donation information. Site administrators must establish retention and deletion procedures appropriate to their community and local law.
