How Planetshakers Empowers Global Generosity Through Local Giving

About planetshakers Church

Planetshakers Church is a vibrant Pentecostal megachurch based in Melbourne, Australia, founded in 2004 and affiliated with the Australian Christian Churches (Assemblies of God). Led by Senior Pastors Russell and Samantha Evans, the movement includes multiple Melbourne-area campuses, as well as international locations in Cape Town, Singapore, and beyond. With an active community of over 21,000 members worldwide, Planetshakers is also well-known for its dynamic worship music, bands like Planetshakers and Planetboom, and global ministry initiatives.

The Challenge

Planetshakers’ expansive, international reach carries unique challenges in mobilizing generosity:

• Multiple funds and campuses — The church facilitates giving for several categories such as Tithes & Offerings, Miracle Offerings, and Conference Offerings, across Melbourne City, Geelong, North, North East, East, South East, and the Sydney campus, as well as their Online Church and Missions Fund.
• Currency and geographic coordination — Donations from across Australia and abroad must be processed securely, often in Australian Dollars, which requires reliable payment infrastructure.
• Flexible giving modes — Donors expect options: one-off or recurring gifts, online, via text message, or bank transfer—and even cryptocurrency giving.

Planetshakers needed a unified giving platform that could handle diverse giving types, process funds from multiple sources, and ensure a seamless experience for congregants across the globe.

The Tithely Solution

Planetshakers partnered with Tithely to enhance and simplify their generosity process:

• Modern giving channels — Support for one-time or recurring card donations, text giving via a dedicated number, and bank transfers to an Australian account.
• Cryptocurrency donations — Through a partnership with Engiven, Planetshakers accepts crypto contributions via their U.S.-based charity entity for global projects, making digital generosity inclusive of modern financial preferences.
• Multi-campus flexibility — Donors can choose their preferred campus and purpose (e.g., Tithes, Trust Fund, Conference Offering), with all giving routed through Tithely for efficiency and clarity.

This integrated approach ensures donors can give in their preferred way—while Planetshakers staff get consolidated access to all giving data in one platform.

The Impact

Since integrating Tithely:

• Streamlined giving experience — Regardless of campus or giving channel, donors encounter a consistent, user-friendly interface.
• Expanded global generosity — Cryptocurrency donations now support international campuses and mission projects, offering more inclusive avenues for giving.
• Administrative consolidation — Tithely’s dashboard centralizes funds and reporting, allowing staff to monitor campus-based generosity and global mission support with ease.
