Measure Your Giving Potential
Enter your average weekly attendance and annual budget below to reveal the hidden financial gap in your current giving model.
How is this Number Calculated
Your church's Giving Potential is calculated based on if everyone who regularly attended your church tithed 10%.
Specifically, your average weekly attendance is used taking in account these variables:
- The average churched adult attends church 1.6 times per month.
- 23% of adult church goers are single.
- The median US household income is $83,730.
PROJECTED ANNUAL LOSS
$2,340,000
Stagnation is a Decline
When we wait for circumstances to improve before we ask, we inadvertently teach our people that giving is conditional on comfort: not a foundational act of worship.
The psychological cost of waiting is profound. Every week that passes without a clear, emotional connection to your church's vision is a week your congregation learns to prioritize other financial commitments. Inaction doesn't preserve your current budget; it slowly erodes the culture of generosity you're worked so hard to build.
37%

97%

What it looks like
THEORY
Emotional investment precedes financial investment.
IMPLEMENTATION
Share a 2-3 minute video highlighting impact right before the offering moment.
THE GIVING MOMENT
Inspire Before You Ask
Most churches rely on asking for funds from a place of necessity. But giving isn't driven by budgets - it's driven by vision and emotional resonance.
By introducing a 2-3 minute ministry highlight video right before the tithe, you shift the atmosphere from an obligation to an opportunity. When your congregation sees the tangible life change happening in their community, the ask becomes an invitation to partner in the mission.
- Shift from asking to inspiring
- Connect generosity directly to real impact
- Build an enduring culture of joyful giving
