Pastor
5.0

Speaker 1: Hi, my name's Joe. I'm the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Jasper, Indiana. We've been using Tithe.ly for a few months now and everything that we've used with Tithe.ly, I would give them a five out of five. Before Tithe.ly, we used two different programs. We used Wix, which is a much more complex system to put a website together if you're not very technologically prone. And then we switched over to Faithlife, which was a good fit for us, but Faithlife unfortunately ceased operations and we had to find another fit for our website and Tithe.ly was a very good fit for that. It filled all the holes that we needed. It was a very plug-in play, but still built a very nice website and had backend features that were very helpful to us. We chose Tithe.ly first and foremost because it had the features that we needed. It has background checks built into the system so that we don't have to have a third party provider and keeps track of those things for us. It also has a built-in system to keep track of both our members and those who work on different parts of our ministry. The other part that is very nice about Tithe.ly is the built-in easy-to-use sermon loader that we don't have to mess with, we don't have to think about, and automatically builds that feed for us. And the final consideration for us was price. There are several other companies out there doing very similar things to Tithe.ly, but we felt the price point and what we needed from the system really was a perfect match for us. It was very easy to start with Tithe.ly. They give you two options to start with. You can either move your website or build your website fresh with them. We chose to pay a few hundred dollars so that they could just take our existing website and build it into their platform so that it really was a pretty seamless transition and doesn't look any different than it did the week before we had Tithe.ly. So on the outside, no one can even tell that we've switched providers and that was a very helpful service for us. We're very glad to have used it that way. I would say if you're considering Tithe.ly or one of the other options specifically catered to church websites and background that they're worth talking to, they're very glad to talk to you on the phone or on a Zoom chat and they answer all the questions that you're going to need to know. The final thing that I would say is, if you're looking for an all in one platform, they're the closest you're going to get as far as I understand, including giving website people, all of that put together into one package. It's really what made Tithe.ly a perfect fit for us.
