Within our Central Resources teams at Church House we have specialists in digital solutions and tools to support generous giving.
Christian giving is not primarily about balancing the books of the Church, it is about resourcing God’s work, resourcing God's mission, which every Christian is called to join in. Are people excited about what your church is doing? Are they motivated to give to God’s work in the local community and your vision for the Church?
Giving is not just about the giving of money it’s about giving our whole selves to God. “ you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, all your mind, and with all your strength.” Mark 10: 30 (NRSV)
Fundraising also resources God’s Mission. The process itself of raising funds is also a great opportunity for Christian witness, as it often involves speaking to a wide range of organisations and people to gain support, such as grant-making trusts and local communities.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.”
(Matthew 28: 19-20 NRSV)
