It’s no secret summer is a challenge for churches. With attendance declining an average of 34% in July, growing your ministry can feel like an impossible undertaking. Churchgoers are all over the place and distracted by everything from vacations to home improvement projects.
Volunteers are an essential part of growing the ministry. Not only do volunteers give 2X more to the church than non-volunteers, but they also inspire giving! When you enlist enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to greet new visitors, answer questions at welcome booths, and help organize generosity campaigns, you’ll notice giving and participation ignite.

When you stop to look around a crowded restaurant, park, or church before service starts, you’ll notice a lot of mobile devices out.

It takes time to grow membership and cultivate relationships that increase giving. While the main focus should always be helping your congregation deepen its relationship with Christ, there comes a time when focusing on developing a culture of generosity is also a necessity.
