Game Changing Leadership – Make Your Annual Giving Statement Work for You • January 2022 (Online Workshop)
Once the Christmas season ends and the new year begins, it’s time to work on the annual giving statement. This statement can start to feel more like an administrative requirement that must be sent out to the congregation before the end of January, but it is also a great opportunity. Most church annual giving statements are simply a printed statement, that looks more like an invoice, accompanied by a form letter, and placed in a standard #10 labeled envelope.
During this webinar, Chris will explore a myriad of different ideas that can help your annual giving statement become an opportunity to grow your culture of generosity instead of simply being an IRS obligation. You will be able to pick and choose from several different ideas that will bring a transformational focus to the annual giving statements you send as an inspiration to those who have honored Christ with their giving to your church.
At the end of the workshop, Chris will lead a question and answer segment as well as take a few moments to share ways he and Generis, as a consultant, can go more in-depth with your church.
