Naples First Church of the Nazarene is a vibrant, multi-generational church serving the heart of Collier County. With a growing congregation, expanding outreach programs, and an increasingly active staff team, the church found itself facing the same challenge many thriving ministries experience: more ministry meant more financial complexity.

Before Givefront, the team managed purchases through reimbursements, manual check requests, and shared cards. It worked—until it didn’t. Delays piled up, receipts got lost, and the administrative burden fell heavily on their treasurer and administrators.

Empowering Staff to Spend Confidently

Givefront brought clarity and simplicity to their day-to-day operations. Every pastor and ministry leader now has their own physical and virtual card, giving them autonomy while still staying within budget.

Receipts are captured the moment a purchase happens—usually by text message—and coded automatically.

“People aren’t chasing receipts anymore. Everything is right there in the system. It keeps us organized and lets our team focus on serving people, not tracking down paperwork.”

Protecting Trust Through Transparency

Naples First Church has always placed a high value on financial integrity. As the church expanded its outreach programs and community assistance efforts, maintaining clear documentation and oversight became even more important.

Givefront provides the audit trail and accountability they need—every transaction tied to a person, purpose, and receipt.

Whether it’s youth ministry supplies, benevolence expenses, or event purchases, the leadership team knows expenses are handled responsibly and transparently.

Seamless Integration With Their Accounting Workflow

Naples First connects Givefront directly into QuickBooks Online, allowing their finance team to review, sync, and reconcile transactions with ease.

Custom coding rules ensure every purchase goes into the right category automatically, reducing manual work and speeding up monthly close.

“Reconciliation used to be a multi-day process. Now it’s hours instead of days.”

Preparing for the Future

As Naples First Church continues expanding its ministries and community programs, the leadership knows they have a modern financial system that can grow with them.
