There’s a pretty good chance your ministry accepts digital gifts in some way, shape, or form. It’s 2019 after all! A donation page on your website, a mobile app, text giving, and giving kiosks all benefit the overall mission of the church. But, what worked for your church a few years ago may not be the best solution for you today.
Technology connects us in ways we never imaged. In our pockets, we carry a library, a radio, and a calculator. We stream live TV and make home movies on a range of devices. We interact in seconds with the church, friends, and family, and work, regardless of time or location.
When you stop to look around a crowded restaurant, park, or church before service starts, you’ll notice a lot of mobile devices out. Even if you don’t see them, chances are they’re tucked away in a pocket or purse. According to Pew Research, over 95% of U.S. adults own a cellphone of some kind, and 77% own a smartphone.
We’ve all heard the stories of church members fearing the increasing role of technology when it comes to their personal information being exposed while electronically tithing. You can always explain to your congregation that online giving is quick, easy and convenient.
