Tithely calls churches to ‘simply serve’ with new mission and unified tech platform


Breeze ChMS now fully integrated as Tithely Church Management, delivering smarter, simpler tools for ministry

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tithely, the global leader in church technology, today announced a renewed commitment to its mission through its new corporate messaging campaign, Simply Serve™. This initiative underscores Tithely’s vision to provide churches with smarter, safer, and simpler tools so leaders can focus on what matters most—serving their people, their community, and the Kingdom of God.

“At Tithely, we know that leading a church is about people, not admin work,” said Dean Sweetman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Tithely. “That’s why every product we build is designed to remove friction and complexity from church technology. Our mission is to free leaders from busy work so they can pour their energy into making disciples and building God’s Kingdom.”

One platform, every tool churches need

Running a church often means juggling multiple tools, logins, and systems that don’t always work well together. This can create unnecessary complexity, wasted time, and frustration for staff and volunteers. With Tithely, everything is built into one unified platform that works seamlessly together—giving, church management, websites, apps, messaging, and more. That means fewer headaches, less busy work, and more time to focus on people, not processes. That’s the heart behind the new Simply Serve™ messaging, and it’s why Tithely’s unified platform is trusted by more than 50,000 churches worldwide.

From Breeze to Tithely Church Management

A key part of Tithely’s unified platform is Tithely Church Management, which began with the acquisition of Breeze ChMS several years ago. Today, Breeze is fully integrated into the Tithely platform, making it easier than ever for churches to run their ministries on one connected system now simply called Tithely Church Management.

“When we acquired Breeze, it was about more than just adding software—it was about bringing together two companies that were both started by pastors and shared the same heart for the local church,” said Dean Sweetman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Tithely. “Now that Breeze is fully part of Tithely as Tithely Church Management, churches can rely on a seamless system that works together to get out of the way, help them run their church, and ultimately help them Simply Serve™.”

Innovating for the future

The company recently previewed its next generation of church technology at their product launch event called Tithely Next, including two new innovations:

  • Tithely Tap – A physical giving device that makes generosity fast, easy, and fun for church members, launching soon. With Tithely Tap church visitors can simply tap their smart phone to a sticker on the back of the chair in front of them to bring up the church’s giving form, connect card, or any content the church sets it to.
  • TithelyAI – A first-of-its-kind AI-powered assistant embedded directly into the Tithely dashboard. Designed with privacy and security at its core, TithelyAI will help pastors gain instant insights into their church’s data through simple, natural-language questions.

“These innovations are all about one thing: making church technology smarter, safer, and simpler,” added Frank Barry, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Tithely. “The future of church tech is here, and it’s built to help churches Simply Serve™.”

Tithely All Access

For churches that want it all, Tithely All Access provides the full suite of Tithely’s tools—giving, church management, websites, custom apps, messaging, and more—for just $119 per month. It’s everything a church needs to run ministry in one unified platform.
