Vision2 and Christian Stewardship Network continued the research initiated in 2022 and once again surveyed churches of all sizes and denominations. Their goal continues to be finding new ways to help the church grow greater generosity and financial discipleship.
The data shows that the challenge of ongoing economic uncertainty, the decline in overall giving and giving to churches, and the slow, post-pandemic return to church have shifted how churches approach stewardship and generosity.
While analysis of the data and gathering additional insights is still underway, you can access the preliminary summary of results and key takeaways. Once complete, a final report will be shared to offer actionable insights for building your church's strong culture of generosity and stewardship.
