Perception is reality. PERIOD.

How people…your people…the ones who sit in your pews…perceive YOUR church…matters.

People gravitate toward things that they connect with emotionally.

What people connect with is what they are drawn to.

What draws them can become their source of inspiration.

What inspires thems shapes their passion and view of the world…and the role they play in it.

That passion drives their interest and willingness to get involved.

Being involved is critical to life transformation.

When we fund the minsitry of the church, we are empowering the Body of Christ to facilitate total life transformation.

Funding church isn’t about budgets and dollars but about extending an invitation to something BIGGER than our own lives.

How we present our church to the people in our pews every Sunday matters. The funding and people needed to accomplish the mission of the church depends upon it.

Think about this carefully.

Here is an example of how one church starts their service. How does your church compare?
