Increasing generosity online
We rely on the generosity of our congregations and communities to support our mission and ministry. Many people give regularly to their local church by Gift Direct but others give in cash when the offering is taken in a church service or when visiting the church. With society becoming more and more cashless, your congregation may be looking for opportunities to give online.
Encourage online giving
Online church provides an opportunity to promote generous giving to your congregation.
- Include a link to Gift Direct in the comments of your livestream
