5 Steps to becoming a better fundraiser
We reviewed 5 necessary steps to increase church giving in my conclusion of the The Pulpit vs. The Pew on Tithing series. You may think that Fundraising is someone else's problem. But the best fundraisers are those who are most passionate about their cause.
If we aren't passionate enough about the message of the Gospel and the effectiveness of the Church to assist in fulfilling the Great Comission to inspire people to give their time, money and talents, then something is terribly wrong.
Fundraising becomes a natural step for humans to take once their hearts and minds have committed to a goal, cause, impact and/or message. As church leaders we have the responsibility to proclaim the Gospel passionately so to inspire others to find themselves changed forever--including their understanding of money, giving and stewardship.
If we don't do it, someone else will. And the Church will suffer for it.
