If you only need a Database for use inside your app you can use SQLite.
If you need to share data from each app with a central database then you should setup a jRDC2 Server and connect each Client with it. You need to have a VPS or similar which is able to run java apps. jRDC2 is the recommended method.
Alternatively you can use PHP for example if you are more familar with it. Example.

Only if you are a experienced user. Working with Firebase-RealtimeDatabase or -Firestore is complicated.

I'm still confused with the choice of database to use for my b4a church app.
The app will be one that can access the database from anywhere
---The app requirements ---
- It requires an account creation where the admin has to approve account registration before its been stored in the database.
- The registered users can register themselves as members on the platform and stored in the database
- The members can have access to church information such as Announcements, uploaded documents and audio(sermon)
- All can make giving's through the app and Send private and public comments as well through the app.
I would be very glad if you could help me out. With the best database to use for this app
Thank you in advance.

See "Client configuration"
Note that the jRDC2 server must be compiled with B4J, and you need a VPS to run the .jar (not just a php+mysql hosting, must be a VPS).

other idea: In server: Sql Server, and convert data to sqlite.
https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/26932/Convert-SQL-Server-DB-to-SQLite-DB
Only if you need read data from server, and not send from device to server.
You will need send sqllite file from server to device: ftp, dropbox, samba..
If you need write data in server: jrdc2
