4 Assumptions Pastors Can No Longer Make About Church Giving Patterns

The way people give is changing. If your church hasn’t felt the results of those changes yet, you will soon. If you are feeling them, you may be scrambling to figure out what’s happening, why, and what to do about it. The good news: everyone is experiencing this, or is about to. So you’re not alone in it. The bad news: everyone is experiencing this, or is about to. So even the usual lifeboats (denominational support, and so on) are less likely to be there when we need them. Since these changes in church giving patterns are so universal, the sooner we understand what’s happening, the better.
