Youth Ministry Payment Problems
Deposits Due Before the Money Arrives
The retreat venue wants its deposit six weeks out, but half the families haven't paid and the church is fronting the difference. GetDues sends automatic reminders ahead of every deadline so the money arrives before the bill.
Mission Trips Cost Real Money
A summer mission trip can run hundreds per student, paid over months of fundraising and family contributions. GetDues splits big fees into installments and tracks each family's progress automatically.
Checks Labeled "Youth Camp"
Fee checks land in the offering basket, get sorted from tithes by hand, and someone updates a spreadsheet from memory. GetDues keeps fees separate, itemized, and recorded the moment they're paid.
Volunteers Chasing Families
Youth leaders end up texting parents about money instead of planning the retreat. GetDues does the reminding, so relationships stay about ministry — not balances.
Built for Youth Pastors & Volunteers
Installment Plans
Split mission trip and camp fees into monthly payments families can budget for, each tracked and reminded automatically.
Per-Event Collections
Winter retreat, summer camp, mission trip, study materials — a separate collection for each, all in one family portal.
Automatic Reminders
Email reminders go out before every deposit deadline. No staff member or volunteer plays bill collector.
No Family Accounts
Parents pay from a link — no app, no account, no password. Grandparents chipping in for camp can pay the same way.

Clean Records for the Finance Team
Real-time payment status, partial payments tracked, and CSV exports that keep the church books tidy.

No student profiles, no birthdates, no data sold to anyone. You track who's paid for the retreat — nothing else.
Collect Retreat and Mission Trip Fees Without the Chase
GetDues gives youth pastors and church volunteers one place to collect every group fee — retreat deposits, mission trip payments, summer camp fees, and small-group materials. It's not a giving platform and doesn't replace one: tithes and offerings stay where they are, while GetDues handles the fee side of ministry that usually lives in a spreadsheet and a stack of checks marked "youth camp." Each family gets a payment link showing exactly what they owe, mission trips can be split into installments families can budget for, and automatic reminders go out before every deposit deadline — so nobody on staff has to chase payments in the lobby between services.
