To the local church, fewer donations could mean future cutbacks in people, programs, and facilities. If people are giving less of what they have to give, even if it is more in terms of dollars, it shows that there is no spiritual growth. To cultivate a generous spirit, churches must disciple people in stewardship, fundraising experts say. One of the biggest mistakes church leaders make is assuming that people are negative about giving. Talk about money .
Research shows that stewardship education can increase giving regardless of a church's denomination.
The Bible is the roadmap for life. Well, money touches everything we do, so we should also teach what the Bible says about that. Kluth recommends that churches regularly communicate their financial condition to members. Tell people quarterly what is happening. Teach money management.
