“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test”  – Malachi 3:10 NLT

Now that you know how to spend your income, we must discuss how to make that income possible. Tithes and offerings remain a primary source of income, but more and more churches have come to accept the necessity of fundraising for your church. Events, online campaigns, and community partnerships should all be part of your church’s fundraising plan.

The days of collecting all the money your church needs during Sunday offerings are gone. Many do not keep cash and feel safer paying their tithes and offerings online. If your church does not have a website that collects online donations, you miss out on a substantial amount of funds.

A well-maintained website also allows you to share your budget online, which creates financial transparency for our members and donors. You can strengthen trust in your church and its leadership by allowing your donors to see where their donations go and sharing how you are fulfilling your mission by spending your resources responsibly. You should also share your church’s success stories with people to help them visualize the impact.

This will create new income opportunities and create a culture of generosity!

Journeying Together,

John
