If churches want the next generation of members to give to their full potential, digital giving options are a must. Today, we explain why.

Some highlights from today’s episode include:

• Regardless of the size of your church, you should have digital giving options available to members.
• Online givers are more consistent with their giving because it it almost always automated.
• I don’t know of a single church who has made digital giving available and has seen a drop in giving as a result.
• We are living in a digital world. Churches need to recognize and capitalize on the opportunities the digital age provides.

The six reasons we discuss are:

1. A review of the most common digital options: online giving; text giving, etc., and their affordability
2. Digital giving provides a discipline of giving
3. Digital giving takes place even when the member does not attend.
4. Millennials and Gen Z don’t have checks or cash.
5. Digital giving as a means of giving is growing rapidly.
6. Many members and guests feel like churches are not relevant without digital giving options.
