Introduction to Pushpay — A Modern Way to Give and Connect
As part of our ongoing commitment to faithful stewardship and deeper engagement, First Mount Zion Baptist Church has introduced Pushpay E-Giving, a modern, secure platform that makes giving, communication, and participation easier for every member of our church family. This system replaces older giving methods with tools designed for today’s digital world — without losing the heart of our worship and community mission.
What Pushpay Is
Pushpay is a trusted digital giving and church engagement platform used by thousands of ministries to:
-
Simplify giving and stewardship
-
Strengthen communication
-
Support ministry growth and connection
-
Provide real-time data and reporting for leaders
Giving Made Easy
Giving with Pushpay is flexible, secure, and built for convenience:
-
Online and Mobile Giving: Donate using the church website or mobile device.
-
Text-to-Give: Send a simple text message and get a quick link to make a gift — often in under 10 seconds.
-
Recurring Gifts: Set up automatic weekly or monthly tithes/offering so you never miss a chance to be faithful.
-
Secure Transactions: Pushpay uses bank-level security and industry-standard protections for your peace of mind.
Whether you use your phone in the pew, your laptop at home, or a quick text reminder, Pushpay puts giving at your fingertips. It also supports offline gifts (like checks or cash) when those are entered by church administrators into the same system for consistent reporting and stewardship.
Communication and Community Engagement
Pushpay isn’t just about giving — it helps us stay connected in meaningful ways:
-
Church App & Alerts: Receive push notifications, event reminders, and news directly on your phone.
-
Text and Email Messaging: Get updates about ministries, volunteer opportunities, and prayer requests through regular or group messaging.
-
Interactive Tools: Church leaders can send polls or requests, and members can participate, respond, and stay informed.
This brings our community closer together — even when we’re not physically in the same place.
Church Leadership Tools
Behind the scenes, Pushpay gives our leaders useful tools to support ministry health and growth:
-
Real-Time Giving and Engagement Insights help leaders see trends and act wisely.
-
Profiles Connecting Giving & Involvement: Leaders can better understand who’s participating, serving, and where pastoral care may be needed.
-
Reports & Transparency: Accurate, exportable giving reports help with stewardship accountability and planning.
This means fewer spreadsheets, less guesswork, and more clarity for sound stewardship and ministry decisions.
Why This Matters
In our mission to “connect people who have a desire to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ”, stewardship and connection are essential. Digital tools like Pushpay support faithful giving, strengthen communication, and help every member participate more fully in the ministry God has entrusted to us. By removing technological friction, we can focus more on discipleship, service, and spiritual growth. More information will become available as we continue to build and deploy features.
If you have questions, need help setting up your Pushpay profile, or want a guided walkthrough, our church office and Communications Ministry are happy to assist you. Let this tool empower your stewardship and deepen your connection with First Mount Zion’s mission.
