How strong is the financial foundation of churches today? Mike Stadelmayer of Church Growth Services joins Sam for a special series on generosity. In this important interview, Mike shares three megatrends affecting every church.

    • How is inflation a “silent killer” of church financial health?
        • What is the financial impact of seniors reaching their final giving years?
            • Why is over-reliance on major donors a problem for churches?
              • Resources:

                      Church Answers and CGS discuss Generosity Trends in the local church.  This discussion includes topics such as:

                        • How inflation touches the budgets of churches directly in the form of increased costs and indirectly by reducing parishioner’s resources available for charitable giving.
                        • Generally, churches rely on a small pool of very generous key donors.
                        • That for many smaller to midsize congregations, the financial load is increasingly being carried by the senior age cohorts.
                        • Although overall charitable giving is up, giving to churches has dropped. It is estimated that 59% of churches have declining or flat line giving.

                          • CGS offers an e-book “Five Generosity Megatrends…Long-term Challenges Need Long-Term Solutions.”  It not only identifies the megatrends facing churches today but provides solutions to help you start reversing them.
