The church is changing—and as a consequence, the way it communicates about giving and generosity must change as well.

This initial class will help frame the conversation around church giving by looking at the lessons to be learned from recent history, the evolution of giving trends, and the facts and figures available. It will also focus on the global pandemic’s short- and long-term impacts on giving and generosity.

Boomers make up only 23.6% of the population but are responsible for 43% of all benevolent giving—including to churches. More generally, churches across the country are largely sustained by the generosity of its older generations. The church has a generational dilemma when it comes to faithful, generous support. Why is that and what can be done about it?

In this second class, we will review how each generation worshiping in our churches thinks about money, spends it, and gives as we work to answer these questions.

This final class session will review the most effective messaging to encourage people to become invested in the church and its success, causes, and impact, as well as the tools to make giving simple when individuals are ready to give. A closer look will be taken at where the future of money, generosity, and giving is headed for every church and how to set up for success.
