I get asked often how we funded Revolution Church. Starting a church is HARD. It takes LOTS of work and LOTS of money. I tell planters all of the time, if I could do the pre-launch stage over again, I would have raised more money.
There are many many things that God did at Revolution that have helped us succeed so far. One of the biggest things was when God put us together with The Change Group.
Now that we have launched the church, much of our fundraising focus has shifted. My friend Casey Graham at The Change Group has released a new resource that has helped us a great deal with that shift.
Its called the “5-5-5 Seminar.”
The seminar covers the 5 Cycles of Generosity, 5 Key Financial Systems of Increase and 5 Reasons People Give. I would challenge ANY pastor to get this resource NOW! Some of the biggest things I learned from it were:
- That we can see financial increase any time during the year
- That developing a Personal Financial Ministry in our church was important
- That the time right before summer is very strategic to increase digital giving
- That first time givers MUST be communicated with and cheered on!
- That our offering times could be done differently…we saw increase immediately when we made a few easy changes!
The 5-5-5 Seminar might be a small investment…but it will help you see BIG INCREASE in your church or ministry. The Change Group believes in this resource so much that they have even guaranteed that you will see results in 90 days.
