Digital giving is growing but in-person giving remains dominant
By Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post Contributor
Most Protestant churches in the United States continue to pass a plate or basket during worship services to collect offerings, according to a new survey of pastors by Lifeway Research, which found the traditional method remains far more common than digital giving or collection boxes.
Nearly three in four U.S. Protestant pastors say their churches collect physical offerings by passing something around during the service, and close to half say they also have giving options as people arrive or leave the building, the study found.
After surveying 1,003 Protestant pastors, Lifeway found that 64% use passing the plate as the primary collection method, more than any other option, with that number rising to 68% among pastors leading churches with 50 to 99 attendees.
