170th CCNC-N Annual Gathering
Creating Additional Streams of Income for Ministry: An Introduction to Planned Giving
Room: Room 103
Could your church use an extra stream of income to support your congregation”s mission in the community and the world? Why is it that so often end-of-life gifts from your church members go to other charities instead of the church? Come to this workshop to learn how to change the culture of your church from being surprised when a member dies and leaves a gift to the church TO BEING SURPRISED WHEN THEY DON”T! You will learn how to encourage such gifts in effective, non-threatening, meaningful and uplifting ways.
