In mylast blog post I mentioned that most churches don't have a stewardship development system in place. Some will have a philosophical reason for this. For others it's a matter of priorities and resources.
I have no idea how many articles, books, conferences, and capital development programs I've been around through three (okay, four) decades of ministry. I do know that they have been extremely helpful to churches I've been a part of and so many churches that we have served through the years.
Our role as a church management software is to help churches set up and automate the best practices for which they have received training. Last week I showed you the three filters in our reports to help with first, second, and lapsed contributors.
