Planning Center (including its Church Center app) offers significantly lower processing fees than Tithe.ly. This means more of your gift can go directly toward supporting the ministry of the church.

In addition to giving, we are using Planning Center as our primary church management system, integrating church database records, church directory, kids’ check-in, worship service planning, volunteer scheduling, event registration, calendars, and now giving.

Having everything in one system helps us communicate, coordinate, and care for our church family more effectively

The most cost-effective way to give is by setting up an ACH bank transfer through the Church Center app or online through our website (which will be updated on January 1, 2026).

While ACH transfers do carry a small processing fee, they save the church time and money compared to processing paper checks manually.

When you use Online Bill Pay through your bank, the bank typically prints and mails a paper check to the church.

An ACH bank transfer through Church Center is processed entirely online. It is faster, more efficient, and allows us to receive and credit your gift without manual processing or data entry.

• ACH bank transfer: $0.30 per donation

• Credit or debit card: 2.15% + $0.30 per donation

You may also choose to cover the processing fees, which many of you already do, allowing your full intended gift amount to support the church.

Yes. If you are willing to switch to recurring or manual giving through the Church Center app or at: https://yafc.churchcenter.com/giving

…it would streamline processing for the church and help your gift go further.

You will need to log in to Tithe.ly and cancel your existing recurring gift.

Once canceled, you can set up a new recurring gift through the Church Center app or website.

We will also be sending a follow-up email with step-by-step instructions for anyone currently using automated giving through Tithe.ly.

We are asking for changes to be made on or after January 1, 2026

No. We recognize that this is a significant amount of change, and we don’t take that lightly. Our goal is to make these improvements now and benefit from them for many years to come.
