Pastors Only Resource Page

It all begins with the Bible. Locate 4-6 passages that scream the generous life in an accessible and engaging way then lead with them.

A generous person is generous with every resource they have in their life. We are made in the image of the generous God with all stages of life having their growth opportunities.

Not every ministry season is reaping season. However, every season matters in growing generosity. Church generosity is affected by engagement more than anything else.

Not every giver has the same questions, dreams, or desires. Key givers need a pastor’s attention. You should never have to ask for money, but always be available to disciple.

Capital Campaigns are still very effective tools for teaching the principles of above and beyond giving. Granted they need a fresh approach, but do not limit giving to the tithing principle. Overflow generosity advances visionary projects.

This is by far and away the most generous season of the year. Catching up on the budget is not the play during this season of giving openness. Your people will be looking for ways to make a difference with their resources.

Most church teams create their budget prior to drafting yearly vision, goals, and a plan. Learn to reverse this process. You will see more unity, generosity, and speed up ministry development.

Generous people are looking to be generous throughout the year. Usually, giving more to the budget is not very motivating. However, moving vision forward is. Have ongoing visionary opportunities available and communicated.
