Bringing The Value of Generosity In Your Church with Dr. Terry Dorsett
Bringing The Value of Generosity In Your Church: Unlocking Your Church's Financial Potential
On this episode of Vitalnomics, we're diving into a topic that often makes people uncomfortable – money.
Did you know that U.S. Christians collectively make $5.2 trillion annually? That's nearly half the world's total Christian income. Yet despite this wealth, many churches struggle to keep their doors open.
Today, we're joined by Dr. Terry Dorsett, Executive Director of the Baptist Churches of New England, who brings his extensive expertise in Biblical Generosity and Multiplying Christ Followers. Together, we'll explore how churches can transform their approach to giving and create a culture where generosity thrives.
"When people can get their mind around the Kingdom impact, then they will find the money for the Impact." Dr. Terry Dorsett
"Brag on People for what they are doing and not berate them for what they are not doing" Dr. Terry Dorsett
"Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over—will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” Jesus
Episode Highlights:
- Creating environments where people give joyfully because they see the impact
- Teaching generosity in ways that inspire rather than pressure
- The importance of financial transparency in building trust
- Strategies for developing generosity beyond tithes and offerings
- Leveraging digital giving tools for today's congregation
With the average churchgoer contributing just $17 weekly ($884 annually), we'll discuss what's possible when churches embrace generosity as a spiritual practice.
Join us as we explore how your church can unlock its full potential through biblical stewardship and generous giving.
