Stewardship FAQ
Common questions about pricing and subscriptions.
How does billing work if we subscribe before our 60-day trial is over?
When you subscribe during your 60-day trial, your first payment locks in your Founding spot today, and all remaining trial days are added before your next payment is due. A church that subscribes during the trial keeps every remaining trial day free.
Are all features included, or do we pay extra to turn modules on?
Every church gets everything from day one. There are no modules to switch on and no add-on fees. Start with your directory; add check-in, scheduling, forms, or giving when you are ready.
How do we import our directory from our current spreadsheet or ChMS?
Tent54 includes a self-serve CSV spreadsheet import tool with a column-matching step and record preview.
Is there a hard database cap of 500 people?
No. “Under-500” describes the congregation size, rhythms, and staff reality Tent54 is built for. We do not lock your database at 500 records or bump you into higher pricing tiers as your church grows.
How do online giving fees and bank deposits work?
Online giving connects directly to your church's own Stripe account, depositing funds straight into your bank account. Your church pays Stripe's processing fee, or the giver can choose to cover it. Tent54's fee is 0.2% of each online gift. Online gifts are by card today; bank transfers are coming.
Who owns our church data, and how long is it kept if we leave?
Your congregation owns its records completely. You can download your church's entire database as clean spreadsheets at any time. Trial data is kept for 30 days and paid data for 60 days after cancellation so you have ample time to export.
