Where do I find the online membership renewal payment button? 


The membership renewal button will be at the top of the homepage on theConnection by the end of January, 2023. 


When is Autopay? 

The Autopay draft will come out of your account on February 1, 2023. 


Editing Your Autopay:

To locate autopay on your profile, you need to first click on the arrow beside your name. This is shown below.

From here you want to click the "View" button beside the "Logout" button.
You will then scroll down to where you see payment center and select "View More" as shown below.

Lastly, you will add payment in the autopay information section. Make sure all fields are entered and then scroll down and select save.

***If the autopay fails, you will need to call membership services at 615-564-5000 or mail us a check to renew your membership.



What is the membership renewal payment address for mailed payments?


The Gideons International P.O. Box 97292 Washington, DC 20090-7292 Please use the payment coupon and envelope enclosed with the membership renewal notice when mailing dues payments and allow up to two full weeks for payment to be received and processed. This address is for annual membership dues payments only. All other correspondence should be sent to International Headquarters (see question #12) or emailed to TGI@gideons.org.


 Can I pay using the Bill Pay service through my bank or credit union? 


Paying membership dues using a Bill Pay service through your financial institution is an acceptable option for renewing membership. Financial institutions typically deduct these funds from your account on the payment date you selected. Just as with all mailed payments, please allow up to two full weeks for the payment to be received and processed. To ensure that Bill Pay payments are received and properly credited to your account, please do the following: • Select a payment date between February 20 and April 10 • Ask your financial institution to include your name, Gideon and/or Auxiliary membership number(s) and the words “Membership Dues” with the payment. • Provide your financial institution with the following payment address: The Gideons International P.O. Box 97292 Washington, DC 20090-7292


Can I pay for multiple years?


Not at this time. Our system does not currently allow for multiple-year payments. 


How can I check to see if my membership dues have been paid?


The membership renewal link will no longer be visible upon logging into theConnection once membership dues have been paid. It may take up to 48 hours to update after paying on theConnection. Please allow two weeks for mailed payments to be reflected. You can also ask your camp president, or call Membership Services at 615-564-5000 to see if your dues have been paid.  


How can I pay membership dues for other members?

 A. Online (best method): Elected camp officers have the option to pay membership dues for members of their camp on theConnection. • Programs > Membership > View Member List • Click unpaid next to the member’s name (right side of the screen) to be taken to the member’s renewal payment screen


B. Pay Camp Officer: Members who aren’t elected officers and wish to pay membership dues for another member in the camp can give the funds to a camp officer who can then make the payment. 


C. US Postal Service: To ensure payments are properly credited, please use the payment coupon for each member and the envelope enclosed with the membership renewal notice. Please allow two full weeks for mailed payments to be received and processed. If the member’s payment coupon is unavailable, or when mailing multiple members’ payments in the same envelope, it is very important to mail the payment to International Headquarters at the following address: The Gideons International P.O. Box 140800 Nashville, TN 37214-0800
