Funding Your Ministry

April 15, 2010 in Leadership with Comments Off

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.

GO GET THIS RESOURCE NOW.

Keep the Change

September 23, 2009 in Leadership, Productivity with 1 Comment

I’ve heard and seen horror stories related to church finance. I’ve even been through a little bit of craziness myself. That’s why I jumped when I heard about a faith-based company that would allow us to do our finances right from day one.

The Change GroupI am absolutely astonished at how much The Change Group has helped us at Revolution Church. Casey Graham and his team are incredible. Their goal is to focus on your finances so that you can focus on your church. We haven’t even had our first public worship service yet and I can already see the benefits and fruit from working with The Change Group.

Prior to working with The Change Group, I was spending almost a full day each week just on church finances. And most of it was wasted time since I didn’t know what I was doing. Not anymore…

When Casey was sharing about their services with me he said something that resonated with my heart. He said, “treat us just as if we are another staff member in the office next door.” When you work with The Change Group, you get just that…a full time staff member just a phone call away, plus:

  • The same results you would from a full time staff member at a cost LESS than a part-time staff member
  • Quarterly coaching focused on increasing giving
  • Peace of mind that you are operating well within church tax law
  • 24 hour access via online to reports, account ledgers, etc.
  • AND MORE! Click here for a full list.

I recommend that any pastor, executive pastor, or church planter call The Change Group now and set up services with them asap. Free up your time so that you can focus on that which has eternal significance – PEOPLE!

If nothing else, be sure to check out the free offer they have going on right now. Incredible coaching for free!
