Case Study: Berean Baptist Church achieves 56% recurring donations and streamlines church giving with Tithe.ly

Berean Baptist Church - Customer Case Study

Berean Baptist Church, a multi-campus, multi-generational congregation in Minneapolis named one of Outreach Magazine’s Top 10 fastest‑growing churches, was struggling with a fragmented giving system—online, text, kiosk, and paper donations each used different platforms, creating administrative headaches, confusing communications, and barriers to regular giving across age groups.

The church implemented Tithe.ly (including a custom app) to consolidate giving channels, simplify setup, and promote recurring donations. After one year they saw online giving rise from ~30% to over 42%, recurring giving grow to 56% of regular members (a 31% increase in automated giving), 490 first‑time online givers, and higher average online gifts—while staff spent less time on data entry and more on ministry.
