From a Baptist church in rural Georgia to a Methodist congregation in Manchester to a Pentecostal assembly in Lagos. AloraChurch knows your denomination's vocabulary, liturgical observances, and giving culture โ and configures itself accordingly.
Pick your denomination โ the platform does the rest
Choosing your denomination at signup configures vocabulary, default funds, recurring rhythms, and liturgical observances. No setup wizard โ your tradition is already understood.
For traditions that emphasize tithing (Baptist, Pentecostal, AME, Adventist, many Nondenom), the tithe is a first-class giving record โ with year-end statements for every giver, ready to issue each January.
The funds every Protestant church actually runs โ tithe, offering, missions, building fund, benevolence โ created as denomination-correct defaults the moment you sign up. Rename, add, or retire funds anytime.
Reformation Sunday for Lutherans. Aldersgate Day for Methodists. AME Founders' Day. Advent, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost for everyone. Each denomination's observances pre-loaded with seasonal appeal drafts your staff approves before anything sends.
For connectional denominations (Methodist, Presbyterian, AME) โ apportionment and conference giving tracked as their own designated funds, reported separately from local-church giving.
Designated missionary support. Mission-trip commitments and peer fundraising. World missions vs local missions, foreign vs home. The categories that matter to your church already exist.
Tie giving asks to your preaching arc. A sermon series on generosity becomes a stewardship initiative. A series on the early church drives missions giving. AI drafts the connecting copy; your staff approves it.
The autumn rhythm
From late October through the end of the church year, Protestant congregations run one concentrated giving rhythm: the annual stewardship season. AloraChurch builds the whole pattern in โ as commitments, not spreadsheets.
Digital commitment cards alongside your printed bulletin inserts. Installment schedules, automatic reminders before each installment, and lapse detection when a commitment goes quiet โ tracked through the whole year.
Turn Commitment Sunday into a live giving event: the congregation enters a 4-character code or scans a QR from the pew, and the total climbs on screen in real time as commitments arrive.
Every giver receives a receipt after each gift and a year-end giving statement each January โ downloadable from their own My Giving portal, no calls to the church office.
Sunday plate, foyer kiosk, an usher's Android phone with Tap to Pay, bulletin QR, recurring gifts online โ every gift lands in the same ledger, against the right fund.
