Offering Envelope Testimonial
Just thought I'd share this testimony with you from Jim Baker, Associate Pastor, Brentwood Baptist Church. It's very encouraging. I think the greatest contributor to success of envelopes at Brentwood is that they teach the use of envelopes as part of their overall stewardship strategy. What would happen if every church had an annual stewardship strategy and plan of action?
Jim writes:
The LifeWay Offering Envelope Service has become an integral part of the stewardship education and giving strategy for Brentwood Baptist. Sending the envelopes into member's homes on a monthly basis has helped contribute to an annual average increase in giving of over 20% a year for the the past five years. Further, by continuing to insert Building Campaign Envelopes each month after the three year campaign concluded has netted an additional $500,000 in contributions toward our Building Fund. Emphazing the offering envelopes in Sunday School Classes and adult and children's worship services has created ongoing opportunities to teach regular, proportional, generous and joyful giving and giving as an act of worship.
