Why Recurring Giving Helps Churches Thrive
Published: June 7, 2025
Consistent Giving Creates Consistent Ministry
Ministry doesn’t pause when offerings dip. That’s why recurring giving is so important. It allows churches to plan, budget, and operate with confidence — no matter the season or Sunday attendance.
1. Recurring Donations Bring Financial Stability
When members set up automated tithes, your church can better forecast income, pay staff, and invest in long-term growth. It reduces the “rollercoaster effect” of giving highs and lows.
2. It Removes Barriers to Faithfulness
People want to give — but life gets busy. With recurring giving, their generosity isn’t tied to remembering a wallet or being physically present. It happens automatically, on their terms, in faith.
3. It Encourages Discipleship Through Commitment
Recurring givers are more engaged. They're invested. They’re not just donating — they’re partnering. It becomes part of their monthly rhythm of obedience and stewardship.
SWAPP Makes Recurring Giving Easy
