Consumers are more comfortable with making mobile payments. The market increased over 41% between 2018 and 2021 alone and is expected to keep growing in the coming years.

Teamwork makes the dream work! If you’re not already using a Church Management Software, you may not realize just how much they empower ministries to better connect with their congregation. Because the technology aligns with your church’s vision and integrates with systems you already have in place, it’s simply easier to focus on growth and engagement.
Last month, we shared our Ultimate 10-Step Checklist for Year-End Giving so that you can get organized and run a successful end-of-the-year campaign.

Each month, our product team releases new functionality for our giving platform. In May, we released thoughtful enhancements designed to improve the giver and admin experience. These features are driven by feedback from the churches we gratefully serve!
