COVID-19 And The Future of Church Giving |
The people in your church are more comfortable using digital tools now than they ever have been.
For the past few months, their connection, not only with your church, but with their friends, communities, and the companies they do business with has relied on an almost completely digital connection.
People who previously wouldn't touch things, like Zoom or FaceTime, suddenly rely on them for personal connection. People of all ages have started ordering their groceries digitally for curbside pick up instead of strolling up and down the supermarket aisles. And food delivery apps, like DoorDash and GrubHub, are becoming more popular as dinner date nights are transferred from restaurants to the dining room table. Similarly, people who would have never previously given digitally are now willing to trust it. With our current state, we face a unique opportunity to grow digital and automated giving in our churches. But, how do we do that? |

Whether your church is in the process of re-opening its doors or you're still facing months of online-only services, now is the time to make sure you have the right giving tools in place for this new, changing church landscape. The forced reliance on digital communication during the pandemic has laid the groundwork for stronger and more consistent giving in The Church. But, only if we leverage the opportunity of this season will see our ministries more fully funded to better reach our communities.
It starts with making giving easy for everyone. Yes, everyone is using digital tools in their day-to-day lives. But everyone is using different tools. You may live on your phone and pay every bill from it, the person in the office next to you may only make financial transactions from their laptop, and the 65 year old dedicated church member that sits on the 3rd row every week may fully rely on their iPad for anything digital. Different people use different pieces of technology to accomplish the same goal - whether that be shopping, talking to their friends, or paying bills. They may all be achieving the same outcoming, but they're taking different avenues to get there. Giving is no exception.
Some want to give from their phone, some from their ipad, some from their computer...read more |
