Success Stories

Real churches. Real giving growth.

Deep dives into how pastors left complicated fees behind and watched generosity follow.

Switched from Tithely-50%+software cost

Cornerstone Fellowship

Columbia, South Carolina · About 180 members · Pastor James

The challengeCornerstone had outgrown its old giving platform's pricing: layered add-on fees for text-to-give, events, and reporting meant an unpredictable monthly bill the finance team couldn't forecast.

What they didPastor James moved the church to TithePay Lite in one sitting. We handled the full setup — funds, branding, and giving links — and put QR codes in every bulletin the following Sunday.

  • Monthly software costs cut by more than half — one flat price, no add-ons
  • Offerings up the very first month after QR codes hit the bulletins
  • Giving page live in under 5 minutes of pastor time
"TithePay is the first giving platform that actually makes sense. One honest rate, no surprises, and our people give in seconds."

Grace Chapel

Marietta, Georgia · About 240 members · Pastor Michael

The challengeGrace Chapel's giving was steady but flat. Older members found the old giving flow confusing, and the church had no recurring giving at all — every gift depended on someone showing up with a checkbook.

What they didAfter switching to the Lite plan, the church launched a recurring-giving push using TithePay's donor profiles and follow-up tools, and taught members to give from their phones with one tap.

  • Monthly recurring supporters doubled within a few months
  • Members of every age group give from their phones — seniors included
  • Pastor reviews giving trends weekly in one dashboard
"We switched from Tithely and saved money immediately. The 1.1% platform fee is the fairest pricing we've ever seen in church software."

Harvest Community Church

Columbus, Ohio · About 120 members · Pastor David

The challengeHarvest's congregation skews older. Attendance-based giving meant weekly offerings swung wildly, and the church hesitated to adopt "another app" members wouldn't use.

What they didPastor David printed TithePay QR codes for the bulletin and pew cards, kept the giving page to a single tap, and set text-to-give so members could give without downloading anything.

  • Offerings up the very first month with QR giving in the bulletin
  • Givers of every age using the link — no app installs, no accounts
  • Weekly giving steadied as members moved to recurring gifts
"Our seniors give with one tap on the QR code in the bulletin. Offerings were up the very first month."

Riverside Baptist

Knoxville, Tennessee · About 200 members · Pastor Grace

The challengeRiverside relied on seasonal campaigns, so summer and holidays created cash-flow gaps that made budgeting stressful for the deacon board.

What they didWith the Lite plan's recurring giving tools, the church invited members to set up automated monthly gifts — set once, given faithfully — and tracked progress in the dashboard.

  • Monthly supporters doubled, smoothing out seasonal dips
  • Members set it up once and never think about it again
  • Deacons budget with confidence against steady monthly giving
"The recurring giving tool doubled our monthly supporters. Members set it up once and never have to think about it again."
