eTithing FAQs

eTithing is Community of Christ’s secure online platform, powered by Kindrid, for members and friends in the USA to give Mission Tithes. It allows for easy and flexible contributions via desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices using bank withdrawals, credit, or debit cards. You can set up an account or contribute anonymously.

GIVE NOW

Kindrid powers Community of Christ’s digital giving platform. When you donate, Kindrid sends confirmation emails and alerts you to any issues with your transaction. These emails help ensure your gift was processed successfully and securely. Kindrid also safeguards your personal information and provides support for your giving account if needed.

2. Choose "Give Now" or "Sign In."

No, you can make one-time donations without creating an account. However, creating an account allows you to manage recurring contributions and track your giving history.

With an account, you can:

• Manage your own information.
• View your giving history.
• Add or edit payment methods.
• Change credit or debit card information.

If you need help with your eTithing account, email Fiscal Services with the subject “eTithing Help.” Please do not put your payment information in the email.

Because eTithing is hosted by Kindrid, International Headquarters has limited access to your account details. Fiscal Services cannot change or update information for you. If you are having trouble making changes, we will guide you through the steps.
