What is Easy Tithe?
Easy Tithe is the #1 Church Online Giving Solution that is secure, safe, and easy to use because it works directly with the DCPM website, which means that even if the DCPM website is down, Easy Tithe will still be operational. Your Easy Tithe Account will always be safe and secure.
Through Easy Tithe you will be able to give to multiple funds (TITHES, OFFERING, LOVE OFFERING or SEED OFFERING or OTHER), register for special events, and pay for those events all online.
How Does it Work?
Simply by clicking the Giving link, you can login to Easy Tithe and submit an online donation, set up a recurring donation, and review your giving history. This process can take less than 30 seconds. Within 24-48 hours, your funds are safely and securely processed and delivered to the church’s designated bank account.
How Secure Is It?
As required by the PCI Security Council and all processing banks, Easy Tithe is fully PCI DSS Compliant (Payment Card Industry – Data Security Standards). This means Easy Tithe conforms to the highest set of security standards in the payment card industry. Account managers, end users, and Easy Tithe employees will never have access to the type of sensitive information that might lead to an unauthorized transaction. In addition, Easy Tithe is tested daily by McAfee to ensure a hacker-free tithing system. When you launch Easy Tithe, look for the McAfee Secure seal with today’s date. If it is there, you can be assured that your data will not be compromised.
Security
Divine Connection Praise Ministry will use an online database called Easy Tithe. This system will provide you with secure access to your contribution records and allows you to make donations online. Easy Tithe provides all of the security for the system. Easy Tithe is used by churches throughout the country.
There are two aspects of security related to the system. First, Easy Tithe provides data security using the latest technology and best practices. The following statement is from their security documentation: "Easy Tithe uses 128 Bit SSL technology for data transactions. All personal, credit card, & bank information is submitted using 128 bit encryption. There is no stronger form of protection than this encryption and by doing this, we eliminate the possibility that someone might "tap" the line and extract your personal data from it. 128-bit SSL encryption has never been broken and according to RSL Labs, it would take a "trillion-trillion years" to crack the code using today's technology."
Neither EasyTithe, nor DCPM will electronically store credit card information. When you create your account, you will determine your own login id and password. If you forget your login id or password, you can have the system email it to you by entering the email address that you used when you created your account. You can also change your password at any time. Please help us keep your information safe by protecting your login information. Access to sensitive personal and financial information can be gained by letting someone else use your account or by leaving the information for someone else to see. Neither Easy Tithe, nor a DCPM representative will ever call you to ask for your login information.
Our Policies
Your information is held securely by the Easy Tithe system. This information will remain private and will never be given away to third parties, other than to process your scheduled contributions. You can schedule new contributions at any time and can modify or cancel those contributions at any time prior to the date they are scheduled. Once the contribution has been processed, however, it cannot be canceled. If you have any problems or questions related to this, please contact the Finance Committee.

Refunds are not available in most cases, however, there are exceptions. Please call 301-423-6400 or email us at info@dcpministry.org if you have made a transaction in error.
