Even before the pandemic, online spaces for church communities have become ever more important. With online services and small groups, many who had limited access to their church community can now enjoy the teachings and fellowship in full. People are even being generous with online church giving.
As a church leader, you understand the important role that giving plays in a church. The ministry wouldn’t be able to function as effectively if nobody gave of their time, talent, and treasure.
Giving in general is a great thing, but when people can get behind a certain project or campaign, they’re more likely to contribute financially. A critical aspect of seeing more success in generosity is fund management—directing donations to a specific fund or campaign. A person might want to specifically support the youth ministry or a mission trip. Having a designated fund where they know where their money is going can help encourage donations.
Are you aware of all the amazing tools included in your giving account? One of our most popular and powerful features is Forms, which can be used for so much more than Online Giving! Your account allows you to create unlimited Forms of any kind, from Online Attendance to Prayer Requests, and even the ability to create your own custom form.
Last month, we shared our Ultimate 10-Step Checklist for Year-End Giving so that you can get organized and run a successful end-of-the-year campaign. Remember that just because there’s only a few weeks left in the year doesn’t mean you should slow down! In fact, the last three days of the year make up 12% of annual donations, and a majority of those will occur on December 31st.
Churches and faith-based organizations across the globe are getting ready to participate in #GivingTuesday, and it’s no wonder! With the focus placed on generosity instead of shopping for a moment, it can be a nice break and sound reminder about the true meaning of the Christmas season
