Webinar Will Present Proven Ways of Increasing Giving to Ministries
Slow economic recovery has translated into flat or reduced giving for many ministries. An upcoming free webinar seeks to help counter this trend by featuring several ministries that have experienced increased giving and describing what they did to generate more revenue.
"Proven Ways to Increase Giving to Your Ministry” will be presented by Evangelical Christian Credit Union (ECCU) from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. (PT) on March 15, 2012. By attending this webinar, you can expect to learn:
- Specific things ministries have done that actually increased giving
- How to communicate your ministry’s story so people clearly see how it aligns with
their passion for ministry
- How to better manage financial resources and free up more to invest in ministry
In addition, based on ECCU’s work with thousands of ministries, some of which thrived while others struggled during the recession, attendees will discover how the credit union has helped ministries become financially healthier.
This webinar will be relevant for churches and parachurch ministries and is designed to be of value to those staff members who are involved in financial decision-making.
John Barbar, the business manager at Boca Raton Community Church in Florida, will be presenting with Jeremy Moore, ECCU ministry development officer. John also leads
Barbar Financial Solutions, Inc., a team of business professionals who are passionate about helping nonprofit leaders and business owners accomplish their vision. His background includes 30 years of experience in financial leadership, corporate administration, and project analysis for profit and nonprofit organizations.
