About Philadelphia Church

Philadelphia Church, commonly branded as “PC Seattle,” is a Christian congregation based in Seattle, Washington. The church hosts regular worship services, prayer meetings, Bible studies, and a variety of ministries for children, youth, young adults, and seniors. In addition to its spiritual programs, it supports outreach, missions, and education initiatives through activities such as a preschool and ministry training programs.([pcseattle.org](https://pcseattle.org/i-m-new))

A charge labeled “PC SEATTLE” on a card statement is likely related to this church—most commonly tithes and offerings, special donations, mission giving, registration fees for church events or conferences, preschool/education tuition, or payments for church resources. Depending on how the payment was made (online giving platform, recurring tithe, one‑time card payment at an event, or tuition payment), the descriptor may appear simply as “PC SEATTLE” or a similar abbreviation rather than the full name “Philadelphia Church.”

To verify or resolve questions about this charge, cardholders should first check whether they or a family member recently attended a service or event, made an online donation, or paid for a program connected with Philadelphia Church. Reviewing email receipts from the church or its giving platform and contacting the church office by phone or email (listed on pcseattle.org) can help confirm the transaction details. If the charge is not recognized after speaking with the church, the next step is to dispute it with your card issuer, who can investigate and, if appropriate, reverse unauthorized transactions.([pcseattle.org](https://pcseattle.org/i-m-new))

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the charge on my statement say “PC SEATTLE” instead of Philadelphia Church?

Philadelphia Church frequently uses the shortened name “PC Seattle” in its branding and online presence, and its payment/giving systems may use this as the merchant descriptor. As a result, card and bank statements often show “PC SEATTLE” rather than the full church name.([pcseattle.org](https://pcseattle.org/i-m-new))

What types of payments to Philadelphia Church typically show up as a card charge?

Common card charges include tithes and offerings made by debit or credit card, online donations to specific ministries or missions, event or conference registration fees, preschool or educational program tuition, and occasional purchases of church resources such as books or materials sold through church events.

Could this be a recurring donation or tithe set up through PC Seattle?

Yes. If you previously set up a recurring tithe or regular donation through Philadelphia Church’s online giving platform, each scheduled contribution may appear as a separate “PC SEATTLE” charge on your statement—usually on the same date each month or at another interval you selected when you created the recurring gift.

How can I cancel or change a recurring donation to PC Seattle?

To modify or cancel a recurring donation, log in to the online giving system you originally used (linked from pcseattle.org) and adjust or stop the recurring gift in your account settings. If you are unsure how it was set up, contact the church office by phone or email so staff can look up your giving profile and help you update or cancel the recurring charge.([pcseattle.org](https://pcseattle.org/i-m-new))

How do I request a refund or correction for a mistaken PC Seattle charge?

If you entered the wrong amount, duplicated a payment, or used the wrong card, contact the Philadelphia Church office as soon as possible with the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of the card used. Church staff can locate the payment in their system and, at their discretion, process a partial or full refund or issue a correction receipt for tax purposes.

I don’t recognize this PC Seattle charge—how can I verify it?

First, check with household members to see if anyone recently attended a Philadelphia Church service, retreat, conference, preschool program, or made an online donation. Then search your email for receipts from PC Seattle or its giving portal. If you still don’t recognize the charge, contact the church office using the phone or email listed on pcseattle.org to confirm whether they show a payment from your card on that date. If it still appears unauthorized, notify your bank or card issuer and file a dispute.

Can PC Seattle place a small temporary authorization hold on my card?

Depending on the online giving or point-of-sale system used, Philadelphia Church’s processor may place a small temporary authorization hold when you add a new card or initiate a donation, especially for online or kiosk payments. These holds usually drop off automatically within a few days and do not result in a permanent charge unless a donation or payment is finalized.

Where can I get a receipt for my PC Seattle donation or payment for tax or reimbursement purposes?

Receipts for online or card donations are typically emailed automatically to the address you provided when giving. For annual tax statements or if you did not receive an email receipt, contact the Philadelphia Church office and request a giving statement for the relevant period. They can resend individual receipts or provide a consolidated year‑end statement suitable for tax documentation.
