A growing number of churches across Florida are adopting digital payment solutions to make tithing more convenient for their congregations. The transition reflects broader changes in how religious institutions adapt to modern financial practices.
Religious organizations are increasingly implementing various digital payment options, from cloud-based donation platforms to mobile giving solutions, addressing the declining use of cash and checks among churchgoers.
“You can donate from the comfort of your home using your credit card or ACH (Bank Account). You can submit a one-time donation or set up recurring donations,” states Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church on their digital giving page.
The shift towards electronic giving has gained momentum as churches seek to maintain steady donation streams while providing convenience to their members. Digital giving platforms offer features such as recurring donations, campaign tracking, and integration with church management systems.
Some churches have reported increased giving levels after implementing digital solutions. The technology allows congregants to maintain their financial commitments to the church even when unable to attend services in person.
“Kindrid is a cloud-based donation solution designed specifically for churches. The platform streamlines receiving and managing donations by seamlessly integrating with church websites, social media platforms, and various campaigns,” according to Ministry Brands, a leading provider of church management software.
As churches continue to embrace digital transformation, many are exploring additional features such as text-to-give options and dedicated giving apps. These technologies aim to make the donation process as frictionless as possible while maintaining security and accountability.
