Churches drive me crazy!

Churches drive me crazy!

One reason why churches drive me crazy is they are too cheap to invest in their future!  Let me give you an example.

“We can’t afford to hire anyone to help us increase giving” I hear this all the time!  One of my past clients just reported an -5% decline in giving as a result of saving money NOT using my services in 2015.  So they saved a few dollars and giving declined by thousands!  Does that make sense to you?  Can you see why it makes me crazy?  Here is another excuse I hear,

“We don’t see the value in your plans.”  OK, I get that but what is your plan?  Well, Um, Er, that is how the response goes.  Most churches have a hope plan.  They hope their giving increases!  Are you depending upon hope or a well thought out plan.

My plan costs $365 a year.  Is it worth it?  Let Pastor Lance Leeds tell you if it is…

Good morning Mark,
I am blessed to have you as a coach and am pleased to offer this 2015 financial report for Dwight UMC.  Envelope (pledged) Contributions up by 5% Amount received from identified, but not pledging, givers up by 23% over 2014 and by 38% over 2013.  Loose plate up by 27%, E-Giving up by 49% over 2014 and a staggering 159% over 2013!  Overall giving up by 8%!  Thank you for the principles you have taught me!
Lance Leeds
Directing Pastor
Dwight United Methodist Church

So for a $365 investment their giving increased in 2015 overall by 8%!  Would you invest in my programs if it brought that kind of results?  If the answer is no, then you are driving me crazy!!!!!

You can try my plans out for 14 days for $1 to see if the value is there.  Click on this link at https://thestewardshipcoach.org/2015/06/15/giving-365-introductory-special-14-days-for-1-00/

By the way the story above of the pastor who decided not to use me in 2015 and saw his giving decline by 5%?  He just called and said, “Put us back on retainer and get up here to help us turn this around!”  He did the math and realizes he can’t afford to save money by not hiring me only to lose money in giving.

So, unless you have some killer plan of your own, or you just like spending more money with firms that never personally connect with you, give me a try!

Let’s reverse the decline in giving at your church!
