Giving + Church Management For Catholic Infrastructures
Find out what's new for Catholic churches!
Leaders are often neglected. By nature, they’re not squeaky wheels -- they’re the grease that keeps the wheels running smoothly.
But we all know that without encouragement and guidance, even leaders can tap out.
So, how are you pouring into your GIVING LEADERS? By this we don’t mean your major givers but those loyal, consistent givers who, without a lot of fanfare, help keep the church’s budget level (and often do 80% of the work, too).
So while you may be focusing on appreciating your major givers, remember that, if nurtured and supported, this group is the most likely to become your next generation of major givers and spiritual leaders, too.
This group of givers tends to be self-motivated. Many of them feel that their generosity and consistency are intrinsic parts of their worship and undeserving of special recognition. But just because they look and seem okay doesn’t mean you should neglect them. You want their participation and growth trends to continue and even increase, and that may require your ministry focus.
Leaders need to be poured into, too. They have marriages that need attention, chaotic schedules with multiple kids, dual careers, debt, and a whole host of other challenges in their lives. They may be single and lonely. They may be struggling with addictions. Remember this: The thing that makes them consistent givers also makes them less likely to show these cracks in their facades.
Find out their giftings or areas of passion and together explore ideas where they can make an impact.
