Fall a Great Time to Start Online Giving

Download our white paper: Why Online Giving Holds the Key to Healthier Offertory
|
With the kids back in school and religious education programs underway, have you noticed your church looks a bit more full on Sunday mornings? Attendance typically climbs back up in the fall, making this the perfect time to get started with Online Giving.
It's secure and automatic! Parishioners like the convenience and tend to give more regularly when they plan their gift online, rather than scramble last-minute for cash or checks.
41,918 families in 637 churches are now using our Online Giving system, and they'll give an estimated $45.7 million this year alone. Some parishes have gained the equivalent of an extra week of tithes every month.
