Tax season is here.  By now most churches have sent contribution statements, either by email or U.S. mail, or have made the statements available online to registered users of their online giving system.  Unfortunately, these statements are simply viewed too often as an accounting tool and not as an opportunity to encourage faithful and consistent giving by connecting with church members.

Churches usually see their highest attendance numbers on Easter Sunday, and your church was probably no exception. You might have been blessed with 30% more visitors than usual. Or maybe this was yet another weekend service in an ever-expanding attendance pattern. The situation is the same in either scenario. Many of these folks are looking for a church home.

Church management has evolved significantly over the past several years.  Changing demographics, use of technology, multi-site campuses, and social media all play a role in shaping the way churches connect and interact with their members and visitors.  Staff is challenged to stay focused on the mission of the church while constantly adapting to change and managing with fewer resources.
