Church giving steady among active church members
It's no surprise that there is a direct link between church attendance and church giving. Those who are most involved in your ministry are also the most committed. This group will always represent your most faithful giving base.
Faith-Based Charities May Fare Better than Other Non-Profits reports:
"Data from the survey found that 81 percent of those who attend religious services more than once a week intend to give the same or more to charities."
Church leaders should begin to look at who are the most active people in their church and identify their giving habits. This analysis will give you good insight into the core givers who have and will continue to support your ministry. Use this group to broaden your giving base by empowering them to be "evangelists" for your church's ministry and mission. Passion is contagious. All you need to do is give them opportunity and a platform.
