What Is Giving Rocket?

The mission of Giving Rocket is to help your church have more money for ministry. It’s really that simple.  We aren’t high priced consultants. We aren’t a capital campaign company. We deliver a system to increase OPERATIONAL revenue in your church, because we know everyday is more important than the big day.  Who cares if you raise money to buy a building if you don’t have the money to pay your team every month or do ministry every week?

The heart of the Giving Rocket system is the monthly subscription program.  Every month, we deliver practical content, plug and play resources and coaching to you and your church.   You’ll get a ton of practical information and coaching.  Here are the FIVE BENEFITS of membership.

  • A Giving Talk Script.  A Giving Talk is an intentionally planned 2-3 minute focus that happens just before you receive the offering.  We write these and you use them or give them to a staff member or a volunteer.  The stats, stories and Scripture woven into the Giving Talk will help you connect the dots with your people.  Learn more about a Giving Talk in this free report.
  • Monthly coaching.  You and your team will get coaching via conference calls, webinars and videos from Casey, the Giving Rocket team, and some of the sharpest leaders in the country.  We’ll help you talk about money, conduct special offerings, communicate with donors, engage high capacity givers, follow up with donors at all levels, lead your finance team and more.
  • A resource every month.  See all of the resources in the store?  Over the course of a year, you’ll get members-only versions of each of them, on topics like budgeting, digital giving, follow up, developing high capacity donors, and more.  These eBooks are full of practical and helpful content.  No theory…just help.
  • Cut and Paste communication.  We don’t tell you to send a letter…we write the letter for you.  If you can cut and paste, you can do this.  We’ll send you letters, emails and statements that are ready to send to your people.  And we’ll pay attention to the calendar so you don’t forget.
  • Access to the Resource Vault.  We’ve put together tons of financial documents, forms and spreadsheets and you can download all of this valuable stuff.  It’s a 24/7 benefit.  Don’t start from scratch, start in the Resource Vault.

You don’t have to apply everything, but over time, you’re going to get a healthy dose of financial coaching that will help you create a healthy financial culture in your church.  Churches who stick to this program are sharing incredible stories of God’s blessing.

You can start with a 30-day trial for $1.  After that, the subscription is $99 a month. There’s no contract and you can cancel at anytime.

How to Build Consistent Givers

Digital giving has one key component that many leaders overlook – recurring gifts.

When attendees of your church engage digital giving, they have the opportunity to establish a gift that repeats on a recurring schedule – weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. If your church teaches financial stewardship classes, consider a component of that class that includes how to set up recurring payments for the resource dollars that are allocated towards “giving.” Also, take time regularly (during a weekend service) to teach your church how to set-up recurring payments.

Consistent givers will carry your church on weekends when attendance may be low, but specifically during the “J” months (January, June & July) when giving can be consistently low.

Take time to focus on building consistent givers!

Remember the Good Old Days?

I’ve never heard anyone reminisce about the good old days that lacked air conditioning, indoor plumbing, and faster cars. However, in church we are often so resistant to changes that could make our ministry have a greater reach. Digital giving will be an area that soon becomes common in most of our churches, and it [...]

Goats, vegetables and grain

There was a time when people gave using items they grew or raised, like goats, vegetables, or grain. Then one day, someone had a great idea: Sell all my crops for money. They went to church with cash and asked if they could give. It was a quandary, but churches will always take cash – [...]

Oh No! It’s a Sermon on Money

The other day I read a blog post from a pastor that began by stating, “No pastor likes to talk about money, and nobody in the church wants to hear a sermon on money.”  A few days before, I noticed a tweet from a pastor who claimed that he “survived” preaching on money that morning. [...]

Are You a Strategic Giver?

Many people like to think of giving as an act of spontaneous worship.  God speaks, we’re moved, and we drop something in the offering plate.  We see a need, our heart is tugged, and we offer to help.  That’s how it works for a lot of people. And while it’s true that we need to [...]
