You have an active congregation, but you experience uneven income flow, and perhaps are unable to consistently raise the money essential to support your ministry. When this happens, maintaining core programs can be difficult, not to mention keeping up with ongoing salaries, buildings and grounds maintenance, utilities, etc. Wouldn't it be nice to find new ways for people to contribute and make it easier for them to make the donations you know are possible?
Here are some giving facts that highlight the problem you are facing:
- Per capita spiritual giving has decreased 23% in the last 50 years, from 3.2% of consumer spending in 1955 to 2.6% today
- Consumer spending continues to rise as competition for "share of wallet" fuels massive brand marketing efforts
- Non-essential industry segments see huge consumer spending: Soft Drinks over $60B, Jewelry over $12B, Restaurant sales close to $400B
If you could realize a modest increase in your congregation’s giving, you might:
- Have the money you need to support vital programs
- Put more toward future investment in your congregation
- Shift some of your energy from fund raising and money management to your ministry
