Fundraising, as congregations currently do it, is labor intensive and does not bring joy. In fact, a major reason for staff burnout is that congregations don’t adequately fund its ministry with young people, and they have to rely on special fundraising with high investment and low return. There is a better way. Fundraising can align with our ministry goals and can return significant resources, strengthening our ministry.

Helping guide our youth in our congregations to raise money to attend a national youth gathering can teach them valuable skills and help the congregation participate in their growth and faith formation. In this post, you will find a growing collection of resources to support their efforts.
