For Churches

The church that gives beyond its walls grows deeper within them.

You were never meant to do this alone. Carry one another's burdens — and so fulfill the law of Christ. Xerish makes that pattern operable for the modern church, at no cost, forever.

Uniting the Body of Christ
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.Galatians 6:2

The New Testament church embodied this. Not as an aspiration — as a practice. They held all things in common. They shared according to what each person needed. They were of one heart and one soul.

Your congregation can carry the burdens of the persecuted, the missionary in famine, the sister church in trial — not in theory, not as an afterthought, but in the rhythm of faithful and consistent partnership, all at the ease of a double-tap.

What only a church gets

Three tools no other platform gives you.

Churches on Xerish inherit the full organization layer — F.I.G.S. vetting, Pre-Approved Recipient placement at Xerish Storehouse, the Recipient Grant Agreement, weekly grant batches. Then three church-only capabilities unlock.

01 · Drives

Drives.

Curate a multi-organization giving event. Pick the recipients, set custom weights, publish a slug-based public page. Your congregation taps once; Xerish Storehouse splits and disburses atomically when the Drive closes.

02 · Family

Family Layer.

Optional opt-in: announcements, prayer requests, events, pinned funds, member roster. The relational life of the congregation lives in the same surface as their giving — without surveillance. Aggregate insights only.

03 · Partnerships

Partnerships.

Partner with F.I.G.S.-verified organizations. Their work surfaces to your congregation in the Connection Hub. The Body of Christ, made navigable.

Why churches choose Xerish

Built to serve what your church already does.

01

Free forever.

No subscription. No per-grant fee. No setup fee. No monthly cost — ever. The platform that serves the church must never profit from the church's generosity. This is not a promotional offer. It is a conviction locked in the Xerish SPC charter and the Recipient Grant Agreement with Xerish Storehouse.

02

Discipleship, not just transactions.

Most church giving software is operational. Xerish is formational. The dashboard surfaces congregation-level stewardship patterns so pastoral leadership can disciple through giving — not just receive it.

03

Beyond your four walls.

Your congregation can follow, discover, and give to verified Kingdom organizations beyond your own programs. The Connection Hub links your church to the global Body — at the ease of a double-tap.

04

Built for the pastor, not the software vendor.

Prayer. Announcements. Events. Funds. Statements. Partners. One place. Organized around what pastoral leadership actually does. No subscription.

Full feature parity

Everything an organization gets — included.

Churches inherit every feature available to organizations on Xerish. Posts, campaigns, impact tagging, AI Growth Coach, Stripe Connect direct payouts, Giver analytics, partnership tools, and annual giving statements. Full feature parity — at zero cost.

Then Xerish goes further — with tools that only a church needs.

Church-only features

Plus what only a church needs.

Designated funds

Create giving funds your congregation can direct their gifts to — General, Missions, Youth, Building, Benevolence, or any custom category. Funds can route giving directly to partnered organizations.

Tithe commitments

Members set annual giving intentions. Xerish tracks progress throughout the year — visible to the member, private to the church. No pressure. Just faithful accountability.

Member giving statements

Generated automatically for every member at year-end. No spreadsheets. No manual receipting. The infrastructure handles it — correctly and completely.

Congregation analytics

Aggregate giving cadence, designated fund health, and Connection Hub reach — visible to pastoral leadership. Every figure is aggregate. No individual member is ever identified.

AI Stewardship Coach

Surfaces congregation-level insights to help pastoral leadership disciple members in generosity. Always aggregate. Always in service of formation, not surveillance.

Church-to-church partnership

Connect with sister churches nationally and globally. Share resources, repost their content to your congregation, and build the network of Kingdom partnership the New Testament describes.

The Church Dashboard

Not software. Stewardship infrastructure.

The Xerish church dashboard is organized around what pastoral leadership actually does — not what software vendors think churches need. Prayer. Announcements. Events. Member giving. Designated funds. Partner organizations. Tax statements. All accessible from one place, without subscription cost.

Designated funds can route giving to partnered organizations. Members can give to the local church and to Kingdom work beyond it, from the same platform, in the same gesture.

Every analytics figure shown to church leadership is aggregate. No pastor sees how much a specific member gives. Xerish protects the giving privacy of every member while still giving pastoral leadership the congregation-level picture they need to disciple effectively.

The Connection Hub

A community of organizations. Not an island.

The Connection Hub links your church to the broader network of verified Kingdom work — locally, nationally, and globally. Browse F.I.G.S.-vetted organizations. Build formal partnerships. Repost their work to your congregation. Carry their burdens in real and visible ways.

“From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”Ephesians 4:16
Understanding the difference

Organization or church?

A church is a congregation-based entity — a local Christian body with members, pastoral leadership, and ongoing congregational life. An organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, ministry, or para-church entity doing Kingdom work. Missionary families, ministry nonprofits, and Christian charities are organizations, not churches. If you are unsure, schedule a conversation before applying.

The Standard

F.I.G.S.

Every organization your church partners with on Xerish has been held to the same standard — Faith, Integrity, Generosity, Stewardship. Not because we require uniformity of belief, but because good work requires common values.

When your congregation gives through the Connection Hub, they are giving to organizations that have already been examined. That vetting is the infrastructure of trust that makes Kingdom partnership possible.

Activate the Body in your city.

Pastors deserve more than a signup form. The Body of Christ is too important for marketing, and pastoral leadership too weighty for a form. We will meet you face to face.
