What Executive Pastors Need to See Coming and How to Prepare Now
Most Executive Pastors are coming out of a demanding season. Christmas is behind you, but the pressure hasn’t eased. Budgets are tight, growth is straining facilities, staffing is dynamic, and the financial needs tied to the vision continue to increase. It can feel like you are always catching up instead of leading ahead.
This webinar is designed to give you space to step back.
We’ll look candidly at what shaped church giving in 2025 and what those patterns likely indicate about 2026.
The goal is simple: to help you think clearly, prepare wisely, and take practical steps to strengthen giving without overextending your staff or congregation.
This conversation with Fletch will focus on:
- What is actually changing in church giving and avoiding the noise, clutter, and groupthink.
- Which 2025 giving trends are most likely to carry into 2026, and what is fading.
- A brief look at capital campaign trends and preparation.
- Specific actions you can take in Q1 2026 to build momentum early and avoid the familiar first-quarter dip.
It’s about clarity, leadership alignment, and taking the right actions early so the rest of the year isn’t reactive. What does it take to be a skilled architect of expanded giving and discipleship in 2026?
