One family name. Two generations of work.

The Baker name carries two generations of work in church giving — and one family heritage that goes back further.

My father, Pastor Marty Baker, built one of the first digital giving platforms in church history: SecureGive. He launched the nation's first church giving kiosk, shipped one of the first church giving apps in the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store, and today SecureGive serves churches in all 50 states.

He's also the senior pastor of Stevens Creek Church, the congregation he grew from 24 people to more than 4,000. I grew up inside that. Expansions. Capital campaigns. Building projects. The real pressure of stewarding what people give in faith. From the inside, not the vendor side.

I've spent the last twenty years on the operator side of this work too: as a sales and marketing leader at SecureGive, as a founding partner in the company, and as someone who's seen every leak, every workaround, and every "we've always done it this way."

The offering hasn't changed. The system around it has.

Today, most giving flows through processors, platforms, apps, and recurring systems. It is faster, more powerful, and far less visible. Fees are buried. Routing is unclear. Breakdown happens quietly. Most churches don't see it.

At Baker Giving, we read the statements. We trace where the money actually goes. We show you, in writing, what is happening inside your system, what is being lost, and what it would take to fix it.
