You Asked: What about the Offering?

Because our weekend services are designed to communicate with clarity to people who have little to no church background, I'm often asked:

What about the offering? How do you receive it considering those in the room who are new to church?

This is a great question. Our mission is about "helping people take their next step toward Christ... together.". That's their next step. And it's a step. Often people new to church or new to church again, have had to climb over a significant barrier: "All the church wants is my money." It's a great step that they've gotten to a church service. Their next step may be coming back next week - not giving an offering!

I can script out how we talk about giving prior to our offering, or you could just watch it. Here's a great example from this past weekend service. If you want to view the entire service, you can so (but only until this coming Saturday) or you can fast forward to 63:50ish to hear how we handle the offering at Granger. Watch here.

How are creating a culture of next steps that is safe and respectful for your guests?
