Where’s The Beef: How Churches Can Excel in Giving Beyond Our Current 4% of Household Income

James C. Petty, Jr., Christ the King PCA, Wilmington, NC – retired

This seminar aims to equip elders to lead their congregations to excel in the grace of giving (2 Cor. 8:7). Officers and founders usually give 10%+ and most others give 1-2% of household income. This nets out to less than half our God-given given capacity. The seminar will seek to correct a major biblical misunderstanding of the purpose of money and chart a part to cheerful giving that comes closer to our true capacity. Special attention will be given to how elders can build spiritual vision into the fabric of the worship, budget process, and planning for the church’s ministry.
