Sam Rainer points to financial optimism in the church
Sam Rainer blogs about church giving and the economy today on Church Forward--a topic we've covered consistently. His observations points to the reality that most churches are still very confident that they will meet or exceed their budgets in 2008. And some go as far as expecting and meeting growth in ministry budgets for 2009.
It reminds of an important giving statistic I came across earlier this year. Church giving - per capita - was actually higher during the Great Depression than it has been for the last 50 years.
