4 Myths About Online Giving – ChurchM.ag
So many of the objections to online giving are not actually objections at all. They’re simple misunderstandings (or “myths”) about the nature, benefits, and costs of online giving.

Online Giving: Pass The Wifi – Ministry Today Magazine
Still wondering what all the fuss is about with digital giving?

Inspired Mobility: Using Technology to Uplift and Inspire
One of our customers has done such a great job of leveraging mobile technology at their church that they were featured last summer in a campaign by a company that knows a thing or two about mobile technology: AT&T. Per AT&T’s website, their “Inspired Mobility” campaign is meant to start “a national conversation about the cultural shift in how people use mobile and Internet technology to enhance their faith experience.” It doesn’t take long to see why Concord Church was selected as the subject of the campaign.
And, for good measure, HERE is a link to a podcast we recorded with Brady Shearer of Pro Church Tools. 45 minutes of banter about generosity, giving trends, mobile web, and all manner of other exciting and essential topics. (Including the genesis of Mogiv’s name.) Check it out!
