A Simple Giving Programme for Smaller Churches

The giving programme offered here is particularly designed for smaller or rural/village churches. In these churches, a greater percentage of the community are likely to be committed to the church than in other contexts. This programme encourages the church to consider whether it should approach the fringe/wider community, and also whether to hold a presentation event to communicate the financial needs of the parish. However, unless you have a clearly defined and supportive community,  you are likely to find trying to approach the wider community less successful.
