About Church of the Beloved Seattle

Church of the Beloved Seattle is a gospel-centered Christian church and nonprofit organization located in Renton, Washington, serving the broader Seattle area. The church offers Sunday worship services, children’s and youth ministries, small groups, and various outreach programs aimed at helping people become disciples of Jesus who know they are the beloved of God. Its teaching and ministries emphasize biblical preaching, community, and mission, and it operates as an independent local church rather than part of a large commercial chain.([cotbeloved.org](https://cotbeloved.org/about-us/?utm_source=openai))

A charge from “CHURCH OF THE BELOVED” on a bank or card statement is typically a donation, tithe, or offering made during services or via their online or mobile giving platforms. It could also represent payment for a church event, retreat, class, or the purchase of resources such as books or conference registrations. Because churches and nonprofits sometimes process card payments as “POS withdrawal” or generic point‑of‑sale transactions, the descriptor may look slightly different from standard retail purchases but will still reference the church’s name and Renton/Seattle area details.([churchofthebelovedseattle.com](https://churchofthebelovedseattle.com/?utm_source=openai))

If you have questions about a charge from Church of the Beloved Seattle, first compare the transaction date and amount with any donations or event registrations you recently made, including recurring monthly gifts or automatic tithes. Check your email for receipts from their giving or registration system, or your online donor account if you created one. If you still don’t recognize the transaction, contact the church office using the phone or email listed on their website; provide the date, exact amount, and the last four digits of your card so they can look up the transaction in their records. Because this is a nonprofit church, they can also confirm whether the payment was recorded as a tax‑deductible donation and, if needed, provide or correct your annual giving statement.([churchofthebelovedseattle.com](https://churchofthebelovedseattle.com/?utm_source=openai))

How can I obtain a receipt or annual giving statement for my Church of the Beloved donations?

Receipts for online donations are usually emailed automatically, and the church can also provide a consolidated annual giving statement for tax purposes.

What should I do if I don’t recognize this Church of the Beloved charge at all?

First, ask family members or anyone else with access to your card if they made a donation or registered for a church event. If no one recognizes it, contact Church of the Beloved Seattle with the transaction details so they can confirm whether the charge is in their records. If they cannot find a matching donation or you suspect fraud, reach out to your card issuer to dispute the transaction and request a new card number.
