How to Grow Generosity in Your Church (Without Making It Complicated)

---

The reality is that growing generosity doesn’t require a big program or complex strategy. It requires simplicity. Specifically, one simple principle: communicate, communicate, communicate, communicate. Mike Stadelmayer of Church Growth Services joins Sam on the show to discuss some simple ways you can grow generosity in your church.

1. 1. Communicate Gratitude — Say thank you often. Express genuine appreciation for your congregation’s giving, whether you’re over or under budget. Gratitude inspires faithfulness.
   2. Communicate Ministry Impact — Tell stories of ministries that exist because of generosity. Connect giving to tangible outcomes in the life of your church.
   3. Communicate Life Change — Highlight stories of transformation: a salvation, a restored marriage, a person helped. These moments show the spiritual return on investment.
   4. Communicate the Word — Ground every message in Scripture. Follow Paul’s example of thanking, encouraging, and celebrating believers for their faithfulness and impact.

The bottom line: you don’t need a new committee or a glossy campaign. Just keep it simple, keep it biblical, and keep communicating. Generosity grows when gratitude and stories flow freely.
