Annual Campaign
The secret to stewardship is knowing how to prepare your donors to respond.
One of the most difficult topics to discuss in ministry is money and giving.
You love God and the church. You hate talking about money.
Talking about money, giving and gratitude can be hard.
It can be frustrating and even make some feel anxious.
And yet…when you do it right, it is still the best way to engage your congregation, create a culture of giving and gratitude, and ultimately grow your ministry and outreach.
There are three common misconceptions (7 myths actually) when it comes to stewardship in the church that are probably preventing you from reaching your true financial potential.
Your Vision
Your vision and purpose are unclear or worse…uninspiring. Money follows vision.
If you are struggling with your finances, people are not invested in your vision.
Your Past
Your past is dictating your future. Do you take last year’s budget and just add 10% to it? A lot of churches do.
But don’t forget, 10% of nothing is still nothing.
Poor Assumptions
Believing your members understand the principles of Christian giving and assuming they will all respond the same.
They don’t…and they don’t.
With declining attendance and the most generous generation leaving us, funding your church ministry is becoming more and more difficult.
Unlike other programs that promise results, Stewardship Plus works because it builds connection and community.
Which ultimately will create an engaged culture of giving and gratitude.
Start creating a culture of giving and gratitude today.
Running a successful campaign is really about 3 things:
Clarity of Vision
Engaging your congregation in a meaningful way.
Sharing the right information at the right time.
Stewardship Plus
Stewardship Plus is based on the principles of discipleship and Christian giving.
Included is a four Sunday Sermon series to focus the congregation in their faith, fellowship and stewardship.
Unlike other programs, Stewardship Plus works because it builds community in giving, gratitude and fellowship. The highlight of the campaign is the all-church celebration event to wrap up the campaign.
Stewardship Plus is about proactive planning, casting your vision and positioning the congregation to commit to funding it over the upcoming year. Preparing your donors to respond is key to your success.
Stewardship Plus offers a comprehensive and step by step online program with PDF guides, a campaign calendar, campaign checklists and customizable templates.
