How to Give with Kindrid

If your church recently joined Kindrid, or you're new to digital giving, you'll find some helpful instructions here!

How to text a gift

  • Step #1: Head over to your church's website and find their "Give" page. Once there, look for a text giving number. Or, ask your church's administrator for the dedicated giving number (this isn't the church's main phone number, so make sure to specify!)

  • Step #2: Text the number with a gift amount, the name of a specific fund, or the word "Give" to set up a gift

  • Step #3: If this is your first time giving via text, fill out a brief, one-time form to safely link your credit card, debit card, or ACH (echeck) to the church's account

  • Step #4: Once the account is set up, you can text gifts in seconds anytime, anywhere!

Don't forget to save your church's giving number as a contact in your phone, so it's easy to give when you're inspired.

How to give on your church's website

  • Step #1: Go to your church's website and look for a button that prompts you to give, a dedicated giving page, or link that guides you to make a gift

  • Step #2: Follow the instructions to make a one-time gift or set up an account

  • Step #3: Contact your church if you don't see any options on their website to give, and they can guide you from there

How to give with a mobile app

  • Step #1: If your church uses the MinistryOne mobile app and you don't have it downloaded yet, head over to the App Store and search "Church by MinistryOne"

  • Step #2: Open the app and find your church with a quick search, either by name or using your church's zip code

  • Step #3: If you don't have an account yet, follow the one-time set up to create one

  • Step #3: Enjoy giving and managing gifts from your phone!

Don't forget to save your church's giving number as a contact in your phone, so it's easy to give when you're inspired.
