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.
Church leaders and admin have no problem staying busy. With over 50% of Americans regularly attending church and new visitors coming and going, it doesn’t take long for efforts to spread thin. That’s why investing in a church management platform is such an important decision.
Whether your church has participated in #GivingTuesday for a few years or this is your first time taking part, you probably feel the excitement in the air. The idea behind this global day of giving is simple and pure. It reminds people to give to charitable causes when holiday consumerism is at its peak.
