Giving Fuel
55% of pastors say that they’re concerned about their church’s financial health. It’s understandable—raising money and releasing resources is hard, and it’s likely that seminary didn’t prepare you for this task. The training, tools, and resources in The Giving Course will help you learn how to talk about money the right way with a developed communications plan, create an engagement strategy, choose the best giving platform for your church, and lead a fully funded church where you’re doing much more than meeting the budget.

Healthy Stewardship practices allow the church staff to be able to do what they need to do to make more disciples.

We believe there are four different ways you can get people who don’t normal give to give for what may be their first time.

In this video, we’ll walk you through 7 steps that can help you successfully create a giving system so you can continue to foster good relationships with current donors and appeal to new ones as well.
