An online giving platform allows donors to make financial contributions to an organization, such as a church, on devices like mobile phones or laptops. These platforms make it secure, convenient, and efficient to give from anywhere, at any time.
Online giving platforms can include features such as recurring donations, one-time gifts, and options to designate funds for specific purposes. They also provide tools for organizations to track donations, generate reports, and engage with donors.
A church app is a custom mobile app designed specifically for a church. It offers church members a convenient way to give, access church resources, view and sign up for events, and receive updates and church news.
The app can also integrate with the church’s existing management system, allowing for easy tracking of donations and engagement with church activities.
Text to Give is a method of donating where church members can give by sending a text message. Typically, donors simply text a keyword and a donation amount to a designated number, and the platform processes the payment using the donor’s saved payment information.
This method is particularly useful during church services or events when members may not have cash or checks on hand.
Giving kiosks are physical stations set up in the church where members can make donations using credit or debit cards, typically located in areas such as church lobbies or fellowship halls.

Many people no longer carry cash or checks with them. In fact, a 2022 Pew Research survey found that 59% of people with household incomes of $100k or more don’t use cash to make weekly purchases.

Online giving makes generosity easy and fast, increasing overall giving.
Online giving means that anyone can give from anywhere at any time.
Ideally, online giving integrates with your church’s management software.
One significant benefit of online giving is that it allows donors to set up recurring gifts, so that they give on an ongoing basis without needing to remember a thing. Recurring giving also boosts overall giving.
Research different online giving platforms to find one that is scalable to your church size and needs. Consider factors such as ease of use, fees, integration with your existing church management software, and the types of giving options offered (e.g., mobile giving, text to give, kiosks).
Here are features to look for in an online giving provider:
Gather all necessary information before starting the sign-up process, including your church’s legal name, address, tax identification number, and banking details.
To establish an online giving platform for the church, you’ll need to sign up. Signing up typically involves filling out an online form with your church's information and setting up administrative access.
Once your account is set up, you can begin building your church’s online donation page. Customize the page to reflect your church's branding by adding your logo, colors, and specific donation categories or funds.
Finally, don’t forget to launch the online giving system on the church website and promote online giving through social media and email. These are great ways to get the word out!

Growth across multiple cities and states has been exciting…but has also created a logistical need to stay organized and continue pastoring their people.
It could be easy to fall through the cracks in a 1,000+-person church like North River Church of Christ in Marietta, GA.But according to North River’s worship leader and media manager Chase Mackintosh, “shepherding the flock” is arguably the most important part of leading a church.

Alive Church is a thriving church in Tucson, Arizona. With ministries catering to every age and a robust vision to see men and women from all walks of life find their purpose, Alive Church focuses on community and connection.

COVID-19 was an extremely difficult time for nearly every church on the planet. But for churches in communities that went on total lockdown for extended periods of time, it was debilitating. “We went from one church in three locations locally here in Los Angeles to one church online,” says James Crocker, executive pastor of C3 Los Angeles.
Planting a new church is an exciting–and complex–process. Building community, choosing a place to gather, and offering support to a new church can be deeply fulfilling and challenging.
