(No, we don't mean epic—though it WILL be epic.)
We mean it actually follows biblical principles.
Give your church complete flexibility:
Choose when giving is available. Donors choose anonymity.
And no platform fees—only standard processing costs.
Built for small churches (50-500 members). Launching Q2 2026.
✨ Pre-Launch • Small Church Focused • Bootstrapped & Transparent
We're building for churches that prioritize these things
When giving is convenient, people give more consistently and generously. Digital giving removes barriers—forgotten wallets, travel, missed Sundays—that unintentionally reduce giving.
Research shows digital giving increases donations by 30%+. That's not because people are more generous online—it's because convenience enables the generosity that was already in their hearts. More giving means more resources to serve your community, support missions, and spread the love of Christ.
Many churches hold specific convictions about how and when giving should happen—whether that's giving during corporate worship (1 Corinthians 16:1-2) or giving in secret (Matthew 6:3-4).
We respect these convictions. That's why we let churches choose when digital giving is available—Sundays only, specific days, 24/7, or whatever honors your theology. And we always give donors the choice to give anonymously or openly, whatever aligns with their conscience and your church's teaching.
You shouldn't have to choose between theological faithfulness and practical effectiveness. We're building a platform that honors both.
Small churches want to dedicate as much as possible to serving their community and spreading the love of Christ—not paying for features they'll never use or monthly subscriptions that drain the budget.
That's why we keep it simple and affordable. No monthly subscriptions. No platform fees. Just the same processing costs you'd pay with any platform, and donors can optionally cover those too. Every dollar saved on overhead is a dollar available for ministry.
Churches that honor these values often stick with cash and checks—which works, but creates friction. Members forget cash, travel for work, and giving naturally drops.
What if you could have both? Digital convenience that respects your theological convictions and stewards your resources wisely.

People forget cash. They travel. Digital giving removes these obstacles.
Recurring giving means members give even when they're sick or traveling.
When someone hears about a need Wednesday, they can give immediately.
The question isn't whether digital giving increases generosity—the data is clear.
The question is: can we offer it without compromising theology?
If your church has avoided digital giving to honor Lord's Day theology or Matthew 6:3-4, you made the right choice. Refusing to compromise biblical convictions is exactly what faithful churches do.
But the data shows you're probably missing 30%+ in potential giving—not because members are less generous, but because cash and checks are harder to remember.
What if you didn't have to choose between theological faithfulness and practical effectiveness?

We're new. We're focused. We're building one phase at a time—no shortcuts.
I'm Mike. I attend a small church that doesn't have online giving.
Not because we're opposed to technology - we have a website, use email, and live in the 21st century. We don't have digital giving because our church takes believes giving should be done corporally.
Every platform we looked at was open 24/7 (can't "close the collection plate") and showed church leaders who gave what (no anonymity option). So we stuck with cash and checks.
But here's what I noticed: I'd give more often if it was easier. I travel for work. I forget cash or checks. I miss giving - not because I'm less generous, but because the method is inconvenient.
And I'm not alone.
My background: I've spent years in software quality assurance and enterprise software development. I've seen what happens when platforms are built quickly without proper testing—they break. I've heard stories of Tithe.ly going down on Sunday mornings. That's unacceptable.
So I asked: What if there was a platform that gave churches CHOICE and was built with enterprise-grade reliability?
I looked. Nothing existed.
So I'm building it—with the same attention to quality and reliability I'd demand from enterprise software.
And I'm building with flexibility to fit every church's convictions.
If we can't build it with biblical integrity and genuine usefulness for small churches, we won't build it at all.
Anonymous giving (Matthew 6:3-4): "But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret."
Lord's Day giving (1 Corinthians 16:1-2): "On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money..." Many churches see this as giving during corporate worship, not throughout the week.
These are convictions some churches hold based on their reading of Scripture. StewardKit gives you the flexibility to honor these convictions—without requiring them for everyone.
YES. This is one of our unique features.
Many churches believe giving should happen during worship, not as a 24/7 transaction. With StewardKit, you choose:
When closed, donors see: "Online giving opens Sunday" (or whatever days you've configured).
No other platform offers this. They're designed to maximize transactions. We're designed to honor your theology—even if it means fewer transactions.
Absolutely not. Anonymity is always the donor's choice.
Some donors want accountability and prefer their giving to be known. Some want privacy (Matthew 6:3-4). Both are valid.
Every donor decides for themselves: Give anonymously or give openly—it's always their choice, not the church's.
Churches can teach their theology on giving (some encourage anonymity, some prefer openness), but the actual choice belongs to the donor.
The point isn't to force anonymity—it's to offer the same choice online that cash naturally provides.
This is one of our key innovations.
Currently with cash, you face a choice: For donations under $250, you can track it yourself. But for $250+, the IRS requires written acknowledgment from the church—which means they know who gave.
StewardKit solves this:
Result: You can give any amount completely anonymously AND get full tax documentation. First time that's been possible.
For churches: Only standard processing fees.
Your church pays Stripe's processing fees—the same fees charged by every digital giving platform:
What you DON'T pay:
For donors: Optional support.
Donors can choose to add an optional amount to help sustain the platform. It's completely voluntary—they can give with or without supporting us.
Why voluntary support?
We're building this out of an abundance of faith that God will provide through generous givers who want to see churches have access to digital giving without budget constraints.
We believe if we build something truly useful and keep platform fees at $0 for churches, generous people will support the mission.
Note: This is our beta pricing model. We're testing whether voluntary support is sustainable long-term. The first 10 churches are guaranteed this pricing forever, regardless of what we learn.
YES. You're exactly who we're building this for.
Many churches have avoided digital giving because existing platforms don't fit their theology—whether that's Lord's Day giving, Matthew 6:3-4 anonymity, or cost concerns.
If your church has said "no" to digital giving for theological or practical reasons, we might finally have an option that works.
Phase 1 beta launches Q2 2026 with 10-20 churches. Public launch shortly after based on feedback.
