How to give
You can give to your church right from your church's app — a one-time gift or, when your church offers it, an automatic recurring gift, using a card, Apple Pay, or your bank account.
How it works
You'll find giving in your church's app under Profile → Giving → Donate, and often as a button or card your church places on the home feed too — the wording and placement are up to your church. Your payment details are stored securely with Stripe, a trusted payment processor — your church's app never keeps your card or bank numbers itself. You can also give by scanning a QR code or tapping a giving link your church shares; this opens the same giving experience even if you don't have the app installed yet.
If your church includes a Give tab, tap it to open giving inside the app. On Android, the giving page fills the tab without a second app header.
Make a one-time gift
Open your church's app and go to giving. Your campus is shown at the top of the screen — tap it to switch campuses.
Enter your gift amount on the keypad.
Tap the fund button (it says Choose Fund until you pick one) and select where your gift should go.
Pay with Apple Pay, or tap Other Payment Methods for a card or bank account.
On Android, giving opens your church's giving page in your browser rather than a screen inside the app. Everything works the same way; it just looks like a web page.
Set up a recurring gift
When your church offers recurring giving, you can choose a frequency instead of giving once:
- Weekly — every 7 days
- Every 2 Weeks — every 14 days
- Monthly — once per month
- 1st and 15th — twice a month, on the 1st and 15th. Not every church offers this one.
You can also pick a start date for when your recurring gift should begin. To change the amount, fund, frequency, start date, or payment method later, go back to your giving history in the app. If your church has disabled recurring giving, these options will not appear.
Recurring gifts show their upcoming charge as Next: Month Day, Year, so you can see the full date before the gift runs.
Give with Apple Pay or Google Pay
On an iPhone, if you have Apple Pay set up, it appears as the main giving button. It's the fastest way to give — just confirm with your face, fingerprint, or passcode.
On Android, giving opens your church's giving page in your browser, where Google Pay appears if you have it set up.
Give from your bank account
You can give directly from your bank account. A few things to know:
- The first time, you'll verify your bank account — either instantly through your bank or with small test deposits that take 1–2 business days.
- Bank gifts take 3–5 business days to process.
- Your gift may show as pending until the transfer completes. That's normal.
Give with a QR code or giving link
If your church shares a QR code, a tap-to-give station, or a giving link:
Scan the code or tap the link with your phone.
A giving screen pops up, in this order: your campus across the top, then the amount, then the fund, then Make Recurring with a frequency if you switch it on.
Pay with Apple Pay, or tap Other Payment Methods to use your church's online giving page instead. If your church has enabled full app-to-web giving, that page may also let you use card or bank-account giving directly.
If you already have your church's app installed, the link opens the app and you give there. If not, you can complete your gift right from the pop-up — and you'll be invited to download the app afterward.
View your giving history
- Open your Profile in the app and find the Giving group.
- Tap History. (There's also a clock icon in the top right of the giving screen that takes you to the same place.)
- You'll see all your completed gifts, including the date, amount, fund, and payment method. Recurring gifts show the next scheduled charge with the year included.
Manage your saved payment methods
You can add new payment methods or remove old ones from the giving section. One note: you can't remove a payment method that's currently attached to an active recurring gift — update the recurring gift to use a different method first, then remove the old one.
FAQ
Why does my gift show as "pending"?
Bank account gifts take 3–5 business days to process, and they show as pending until the transfer completes. If your bank needs small test deposits first, verification usually takes 1–2 business days. Card and Apple Pay gifts usually complete right away.
How do I cancel my recurring gift?
Open your Profile, tap Manage Recurring under Giving, find your recurring gift, and cancel or update it there. Some older recurring schedules may have fewer edit options.
Why can't I delete my saved card?
If that card is being used for an active recurring gift, you'll need to switch the recurring gift to a different payment method first.
Why does the giving button change as I type an amount?
The button tells you what happens next. Before you enter an amount it prompts you to add one; once you've entered an amount, it shows the amount you're about to give so you can check it before you confirm.
Why are some buttons greyed out while I'm choosing a fund?
While a picker is open — fund, campus, frequency, or payment method — the buttons behind it are turned off so a stray tap can't change your gift. Make your choice or close the picker and they work again.
