In the photo shared on Instagram by @kingtundeednut, a Bitcoin wallet for the church was pasted on the screen with 'partner with us' written above it.
The identity of the church is however still unknown.
Social media reacts to the development
While some remarked that it was not a big deal, others raised concerns that the church may have some fraudulent plans up its sleeves with the new introduction.

Pastor tells members that sin cannot take man to hell
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that a pastor had boldly declared in a video that sin cannot take one to hell.
In a video sighted on social media, the man of God said:
''Sin can never take a man to hell, never''.
The cleric asked:
''How can Jesus who is God die to pay sin and then sin now stands up to claim men?''
The preacher reiterated that Jesus did not collapse or die due to an accident, but died intentionally to deal with sin, hence, the sins of believers have been paid for.
He posed rhetorical questions to the congregation:
''Did Jesus die or he fainted? Did he die or he collapsed? Was it a mistaken death or intentional? And why did he die intentionally?''
