Church Use Case – Managing Recurring Memberships and Donations

Churches can make a strong and active group by having membership levels that people pay for every month.

This way, they get steady money through both memberships and donations, which helps keep the church going. In return, members get good things like invites to special events, news updates, and entry to group gatherings
