FAITH WITHOUT WALLS: Engaging Gen Z’s Quiet Revival, by Jamshed Patel

New Partnership Delivers Payment Innovation for Faith-Based and Nonprofit Organizations

Ministry Brands’ 2025 State of Church Giving Report has been released. Key findings of the report show: Recurring giving accounts for 42% of digital donations and 57% of digital transactions, even though nearly half of churches don’t currently offer the option.

America might have been late to the digital trend but may soon be the leader in contactless tithing, with Ministry Brands’ 2025 State of Church Giving Report stating between 20 percent and 33 percent of churches in the U.S. have adopted digital wallet options for donations.

Joy is at the heart of Christian generosity. When we give freely, whether through almsgiving, tithing, or offering our time, we participate in something far greater than ourselves: a life rooted in faith, hope, and love.

"This year's State of Church Giving Report paints a clear picture of several key themes we can expect to continue over the next year, especially how churches are rapidly adopting digital giving," says Robert Blair, Executive Vice President of Payments for Ministry Brands. "The rise of automatic, recurring donations, now constituting a notable 43% of all transactions and 34% of giving dollars, signifies a shift toward predictable and sustainable income streams for our faith communities."

Flex Content will empower church leaders to elevate their digital presence with custom pages, streamlined event promotion, simplified resource access, and stronger congregation connections. This will allow stakeholders to easily strengthen networks and more seamlessly foster meaningful relationships within a church's digital community.

“It’s an honor to be entrusted with the leadership of Ministry Brands – a company that shares my values and holds a remarkable position in supporting churches and mission-driven organizations,” said Bacon.

The Seven Steps guide leverages online donor conversion data to reveal key insights and strategies that remove friction and make the giving process as streamlined as possible.
