Our mission
A gift to help small churches thrive and reach more people.
We believe a church should not need a large staff or software budget to stay organized, care for people, and grow its ministry. CommonPlateGiving was created to give small churches practical tools for giving, people, attendance, volunteers, kids check-in, and a public church page—without adding another monthly subscription.
Practical from the first Sunday
Everything your church needs to stay organized.
CommonPlate brings giving, people, households, attendance, volunteers, and kids check-in into one simple place. Your staff and volunteers can spend less time moving between spreadsheets, sign-up sheets, and separate apps—and more time caring for people.
People & households
Keep members, visitors, families, tags, and participation history together.
Attendance
Record attendance simply and understand who has been joining your church.
Volunteers
Organize teams, roles, and Sunday assignments without another signup tool.
Kids check-in
Check children in and out with clear guardian and secure pickup verification.
Public church mini-page
Share a welcoming page with service times, directions, contact details, and giving.
A simple page to share
Help people find your church and take a next step.
Every church gets a public mini-page for its welcome message, service times, address, contact information, and giving link. Share one clear page with visitors, members, and your community.

How it works
Set up your church in three simple steps.
- Name your church
Tell us what your congregation is called.
- Connect your Stripe account
Stripe verifies your church and handles direct deposits.
- Share your giving page
Use your link online, in print, or on a Sunday slide.
Once setup is complete, your church can share its giving page and start organizing the rest of its ministry work in CommonPlate.
Simple, transparent cost
Useful church software without another subscription.
No monthly subscription. No long-term contract. CommonPlate is available to your church at no monthly cost.
Donors can choose to cover the estimated Stripe processing and 1% CommonPlate platform fees at checkout, helping your church receive the full intended gift. When a donor chooses not to cover the fees, the applicable fees are deducted from the gift proceeds. Giving deposits go directly into your church’s connected Stripe account. CommonPlate does not hold church funds.
