Worship Through Giving = A Perfect Fit

We're living through a season that we will never forget. Today there are many personal and financial challenges, but also great opportunities to get creative and be innovative. We're doing our best to come alongside you with our team at PraiseCharts, and keep the river of fresh worship music flowing. Our mission is to make it easy for the Church to engage their congregation in meaningful worship. Beyond the music, we also know that giving is a natural expression of worship.

Many of the churches served by PraiseCharts have requested recommendations on digital donation tools. Our answer is Givlia. We’re excited about this new resource that makes online giving easy and accessible! Givlia enables people to do what they actually want to do - to be generous and invested in their community and church.

Say goodbye to unnecessary complexity in donation tools and price gouging by software companies or merchant processors. It's no wonder many churches still have not made the leap to online giving! Today’s Church needs an online donation platform that is easily accessible and simple to use, so the congregation can focus on worship rather than be distracted by challenging technology. We want to help take away those barriers for your church members seeking to worship through offering regular support to your ministry.

Givlia is affordable, reliable, and user friendly making it easy for your members to give online, through text, and recurring donations. Churches that use Givlia report that their overall giving increases by as much as 20%.  If you want to find out more, send us your info in the link below and we will have someone will contact you personally to answer all your questions. There are no obligations, so why not find out today if Givlia is a good fit for your ministry?

Why Givlia

If finding your church's donation page takes longer than 45 seconds, more than 65% of people will abandon their attempt before they even have a chance to get started. Forgotten passwords, required account resets, complex forms and lengthy registrations are all common issues with most online giving tools. Statistically, only 1 in 3 potential donors will successfully complete the online giving process on a given Sunday morning.

At PraiseCharts our mission is to make it easy for the Church to engage their congregation in meaningful worship.  Beyond the music, giving is a natural expression of worship. We want to help you remove the barriers for your church members to offer regular support to your ministry.  While there are a number of online giving platforms available today, most are costly and complicated. It's no wonder many churches still have not made the leap to online giving. Today’s Church needs an online donation platform that is easily accessible and simple to use, so the congregation can focus on worship rather than be distracted by challenging technology.

Many of the churches served by PraiseCharts have requested recommendations on digital donation tools. Our answer is Givlia. We’re excited about this new resource that makes online giving easy and accessible at your church! Givlia enables people to do what they actually want to do - to be generous and invested in their community and church.

We now have a whole generation of churchgoers who don't use cash or checks.  Providing a way for them to give digitally facilitates worship in a very tangible way. Digital giving is also helpful for those who may be sick, experiencing transportation challenges, or are traveling out of town. Church members can access the platform on a device that's convenient for them. Options include giving via text message, in a mobile app, or with a computer/tablet. Givlia's Text Giving and QR Code tools help locate your giving page in 10-15 seconds. This focus on simplicity and accessibility helps 9 out of 10 donors quickly complete their giving in the short time allotted for tithes and offerings during a typical Sunday morning service. Plus, Givlia provides simple, streamlined administrative functions such as batch reconciliations, annual charitable donation receipts, one-click refunds of accidental donations, and flexible CSV records for importing into your financial tools.

Recurring giving provides consistent resource levels that help churches plan and budget more effectively. However, very few people tend to schedule future gifts when pressed to make a quick decision. Givlia solves this problem through a button in their email receipts which encourages converting donations into recurring gifts. When busy folks are able to plan at their leisure, they are more comfortable supporting their church on a regular schedule. Churches using Givlia report their overall giving increases by as much as 20%.

Why Online Giving?

In 1st Corinthians, Paul says “I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.”  When we look at giving as an integral part of a person’s walk with God, it becomes clear that we should provide simple ways for people to engage in this act of worship and sacrifice.

Over fifty percent of millennials do not own a checkbook.  Providing a way for them to give digitally facilitates worship in a very tangible way. Even the older generation is using online giving more frequently.  Over 60% of churchgoing senior citizens have made an online donation in the past year.  Around 97% of business-to-consumer transactions are done with a credit or debit card.  Also, when we get sick, are out of town, or forget our checkbook, it is nice to know we have an easy alternative to give in the moment.

When pastors present the option of digital giving to their team, often this conversation turns into a calculation of potential monetary benefit. Most churches invest several thousands of dollars every year into their mortgage, utilities, staff, chairs, audio-visual equipment, etc.  Online giving is another essential ministry tool. While Givlia can help your church see an increase in support, it’s important to remember that ministry tools are never about a return on investment. They are about helping our congregation worship and grow in their walk with God.

We've been nothing short of impressed with Givlia! Chris and the Givlia team have an underlying heart of ministry that goes into everything from product to pricing to support!
We've found the simplicity of Givlia to be undeniably user friendly for our congregation. Their communication with us and concern for our ministry's effectiveness has
been a huge blessing to us. Without hesitation, we can strongly recommend Givlia to any other ministry looking for a digital giving solution!  

Jake O'Neil - Calvary Chapel Honolulu

Givlia has been a great tool for us. We have a smaller and older congregation. Historically we have seen a major summer giving slump. Our givers are wonderful and support us well, when they are in town, not snowed in, or vacationing at the lake. With Givlia, more and more people are beginning to give automatically, and are consistent in their donations no matter what their daily life looks like. This is the first summer we have seen consistent giving levels, which allows us to plan and execute our budget effectively. Thank you Givlia, for such a simple and painless tool!

Chris Thompson - Christ Central

Switching our online giving platform to Givlia was one of the easiest experiences. We love the simplicity of the platform and many people in our church are using the service. Chris and the team were very helpful at answering any questions that arose and following up with me on a frequent basis. We are truly thankful for the great pricing and features that Givlia is offering.

Jonathan Amsing - First Assembly Walla Walla

Without any hesitation, I can highly recommend Givlia to any church who is looking to expand or meet the great need for an additional alternative to their tithing process to accommodate this digital generation. Many, if not all, in our congregation, found Givlia to be very user-friendly and convenient. As an assistant Pastor/Administrator of our church for nearly 20 years, I can speak with confidence that Givlia is an added convenience to our accounting process. Their team will patiently walk you through the simple process of getting your church up and running in no time.
