Church of Champions in Houston has been doing this for some time and communications I have received indicate that they have seen fairly significant increases in donations and tithing.
It has been proven that those who use Credit Cards spend 30 % more. Imagine the increase in a Offering service.
I digress

I really wish our church would do this. I would really prefer to have my tithe and offering automatically drafted each month. Then it would have a chance of being returned first ahead of all of my online bill payments I have been shamefully late returning my tithe at times even though I always set the money aside up front because I could not find my checks. Tithe and offering is the only reason I even have a checkbook anymore.
Amen it would be nice to use the ATM right in the lobby rather than stopping by the banks drive through before church.I think its a great idea for larger churches.
