That’s why I’d love to share with you today a new webinar unpacking a recent donor confidence study around post-Covid church attendance and giving.

I sat down with Rick Dunham and Marty Baker of Secure Give to discuss some significant takeaways from this study, as well as strategies you can implement ASAP.

• Millennials are more likely to attend church in person than Boomers or Gen Xers
• Donors who reported attending live services only are more generous than those who attend only virtual services
• The more donors are engaged in their faith, the more they support charities
• Regular church attenders are more likely to give online

The most significant takeaway from this year’s study compared to 2016 is that a greater percentage of Millennial donors are engaged with their faith than in 2016 and they are more active compared to other generations. By contrast, attendance by Gen X and Boomer+ generations has fallen and has not recovered post-pandemic to pre-COVID levels. I think you’ll love this insight as you move toward all God has in store for your ministry in 2023!
