Nurturing a Culture of Generosity in Your Congregation
About This Webinar
In the 90's, for every $100 given, churches received $54. Today, churches receive only $32. Despite this downward trend, some churches are seeing significant increase in giving and finding new ways to support their communities. What are they doing differently?
According to a recent study by Indiana University's Lake Institute on Faith and Giving, Faith leaders who teach giving weekly, see a 90% increase in giving.
Join Melissa Spas (Managing Director at Indiana University's Institute of Faith & Giving ) & Anthony DeShazor (Senior VP of Customer Experience at Givelify) as we discuss research-backed strategies for nurturing a culture of generosity in your congregation this Easter and beyond.
Agenda

- The most recent research on the financial impact of regularly teaching on giving
- Finding the difficult balance of how and when to regularly speak about money
