Should we stay with the stewardship
program we used last year, or is
it time to consider a change?

With the form below you can quickly evaluate member response in your last stewardship effort (including our own) and make an informed decision.

Line 1: Members on Line 1 help your church keep up and get ahead. The goal is to have majority respond here so that the church is not so dependent on a small number of large donors.

Line 2: For the most part, decreases on Line 2 can’t be helped. They are usually the result of finances, retirement, health problems, and the like. It is wise to anticipate such attrition.

Line 3: In any given year, the overwhelming majority of members repeat the same gift, often for years. Repeating the same gift is often more a matter of habit, than finances. By encouraging small but steady forward steps, the majority can be moved from Line 3 to Line 1. Multiplied across your entire congregation, small steps become a giant step for God’s work.

Line 4: New giving on Line 4 helps offset attrition on Line 2 and brings members closer to the church. Most “inactive” members want to keep their church affiliation and will respond to a thought-fully presented suggestion.

We hope you find this form helpful and suggest you complete this form every year no matter what program you use. We encourage our church clients to do so and think it’s the
reason so many use our program 4-6-8-10 years or longer.
