The following is an excerpt from a class that Leeann Buttram (Shelby Systems’ Giving Customer Success Specialist) will be presenting at the MPower Conference this summer.

MPower User Conference is a Ministry Technology Conference for Dynamic Churches – Houston, TX – June 5 – 7, 2019.

Lifeway Research from 2018 revealed the following ideologies:

  • 98% – say tithes can be given to their local church only
  • 48% – say tithes can be given to a Christian Ministry
  • 35% – say tithes can be given to another church other than the one I attend
  • 34% – say tithes can be given directly to a person in need
  • 18% – say tithes can be given to a secular charity

What do all these numbers mean?

  • Worship is still one of the top choices for giving
  • Donors want the opportunity to place their gift online (but don’t want you to throw away your baskets/plates)
  • Each year the opportunities for giving increase…
