Developing your church website on WordPress is a great solution for most churches. It’s free, there are thousands of great themes, and you can extend the functionality of your site by using plug-ins.

    Hi there! Can i ask something? Where would paypal donate the funds that they have earned? I know that some of it is to maintain the site and their company but there is a lot of money involved. I hope they also help some institutions.

    Really helpful post Jesse, I like the WordPress PayPal Donation Plugin and I am using it from quite a while now without any problems. But if anyone is looking for a plugin with Authorize.Net credit card processing then this plugin can help https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-church-donation/. It is free, features are looking good and specially designed for Church. Should give it a try. Thank you for sharing nice list.

      Thanks for sharing that. Looks like a solid plugin!

      Does it handle recurring donations?
