Mark DeYmaz: Why Tithes and Offerings Are No Longer Enough

The Coming Revolution in Church Economics: Why Tithes and Offerings Are No Longer Enough, and What You Can Do About It
(Baker Books, 2019)

WHO: Mark DeYmaz, founder of Mosaic Church of Central Arkansas and cofounder of the Mosaix Global Network, and Harry Li, senior pastor of Mosiac Church of Central Arkansas.

THEY SAY: “It is unrealistic to expect tithes and offerings alone to fully fund or sustain local churches in the years ahead.”

THE BIG IDEA: Now is the time for churches to understand why and how to position themselves financially for the future.

THE PROGRESSION: This book identifies four reasons why church budgets are struggling. The authors then outline practical ways churches can thrive by learning to leverage their assets, empower entrepreneurs and create multiple streams of income to effectively fund mission while blessing their community.

“As with so many other things in life and ministry, prayer, patience, and persistence, coupled with a passion that arises from calling, are foundational to any success that leaders experience in leveraging church assets, blessing the community and generating sustainable income.”

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People

None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.
