“The July 2015 issue of Church Finance Today reported the statistic from the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability that when church leaders were asked: “Does your church have a written strategy for inspiring people in biblical generosity?” a resounding 66.1% of all church leaders said NO, that they do not have a written strategy! Less than one-third of churches (30.5%) said that they have a strategy.”
Tim Dittloff in Incandescent, Issue 8, Volume 1, August 2015, an electronic publication of Stewardship Innovations.
Pastor (or forward this to your pastor), don’t have the “no plan” plan.
Tim adds: “As your congregation heads in to the fall months of “programming”, do you have planned ways of communicating and inspiring biblical generosity beyond the annual fall stewardship program? This fall, end the year well, by planning strategically how you will inspire your people next year. Stewardship Innovations offers workshops to guide you through this process.”
I am speaking at one of those workshops on October 19, 2015. Click here for more information.
