Case Study: Faithpoint United Methodist Church achieves 70% online giving growth and a 20% lift in donations with Vanco

70% Growth in Online Giving Leads to 20% Lift in Overall Donations

Faithpoint United Methodist Church, a young church founded in 2003 in Floyds Knobs, Indiana, wanted to make giving easier and more consistent for its congregation. Senior pastor and founder George Wasson chose Vanco’s online giving solution after seeing it as a natural fit for a community already comfortable with digital banking and purchasing.

Vanco helped Faithpoint launch electronic giving by check and debit/credit card, supported by ongoing communication from the pulpit, sanctuary announcements, bulletins, and classes for new members. The result was strong adoption: online giving grew from about 25% of members to 70%, and overall monetary contributions increased by 20%, while church finances became more stable throughout the year.
