The Challenge

First Christian Church struggled with two main issues: 1. Their giving forms weren't part of their website, making the donation experience feel separate and clunky. 2. They had to manage donor data in two different systems. This made it hard to send personal messages to their givers.

First Christian Church needed a platform that could:

Requirements

Add giving forms directly on their website
