(Fox News) A Mississippi Baptist church has become the first Southern Baptist church to accept cryptocurrencies for donations and tithes.
Back Bay Baptist Church in St. Martin announced at the end of September that it would accept digital currencies after COVID-19 made it difficult to collect traditional payments.
“We stopped passing around an offering basket when COVID hit,” Back Bay Baptist’s Pastor Adam Bennett told WLOX. “We actually have a little basket in the back for the room.”
