The Coming Revolution in Church Economics: Why Tithes and Offerings Are No Longer Enough, and What You Can Do About It
book
Description
This book can help congregational leaders identify new ways to finance their congregation’s needs. Authors Mark DeYmaz and Harry Li believe that congregations, especially urban congregations where members face various financial pressures, need to rely on income beyond tithes and offerings in order to build long-term financial sustainability grounded in social justice.
To explain how congregations can build more sustainable financial models, DeYmaz and Li share their experience doing this work at Mosaic Church in Little Rock, Arkansas. The book includes chapters about creating multiple streams of income, leveraging church assets, and more.
