2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (NIV)
Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
At Influence Church there is no compulsion to give, but if you would like to sow into the life and health of Influence Church then there are various ways in which you can do this and play your part, both practically, and financially.
We are so thankful for the generosity of the people of Influence Church who, either through their practical serving or financial giving, enable us to achieve our vision to be a positive influence in our community and build a relevant and enthusiastic Church in the heart of towns in the north of England.

You then can set the date that you wish for the standing order to come out, the frequency with which it comes out and the amount. You are then able to amend this easily, changing your amount, the date or the frequency.
