Various factors impact your ministry’s health, like digital giving tools, your ChMS, leadership, staff, budget, and the local community. The key to success is that each of these factors work together. Of course, this doesn’t happen on its own—it takes a plan.
Last year was record-breaking for #GivingTuesday with $274 million raised online. This year, experts predict that we’ll see a 21% increase in online gifts and raise over $330 million in total. While it’s taken a while for this global day of generosity to catch on, the impact noticeably grows year after year.
Pastor Appreciation Day is on October 14th and October is Pastor Appreciation Month. While you should appreciate your pastor throughout the year, this month is a wonderful opportunity to show gratitude for all they do.
With the season of generosity fast approaching, churches not only see an increase in giving, but they also notice seats filling up. This gives ministries an opportunity to grow over the next few months and inspire new guests to become active members.
Since getting its start in 2012, #GivingTuesday has grown year after year. People across the globe embrace this day of giving in the height of consumerism around the holidays—it’s a breath of fresh air. It reminds people to give back in a meaningful way rather than getting caught up in shopping days like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
There’s no doubt about it—Facebook is BUSY! With over 1.47 billion active users logging in daily and 2.23 billion logging in monthly, Facebook continues to be the most popular social media channel. And it’s not just for younger generations. All generations scroll through their Facebook feed on phones, tablets, and computers.
