Our church's main goal is to make a difference on kids and the kids' families. To have enough worshiping space for all members and spiritual learning space for all Sunday school kids and families. Thus, fundraising is crucial to our church and needs it to be successful and collect money to buy a new worshiping place and build a church. In addition, fulfilling the financial needs of the current church rental space payment and covering several overhead costs related to spiritual services. Raise money to cover all expenditures needed to kid Sunday school Spiritual training. Our church plans to achieve these goals:
1) To raise money in the fastest way by simply sharing the church needs with as many people as possible.
2) Our church has worked a lot on assigning the responsibility to the people and making them the owner of this project who is getting service in the church and inviting people to be a part of what you believe God is doing in your midst.
3) The church has worked and provides plenty of avenues for people to donate online through Facebook, text-to-give, giving kiosks, and by check or credit card.
4) The church has planned to ask people to pledge a recurring donation, because some of the projects need to be funded immediately and few projects need longer time to accomplish and can be paid for in time.
5) Ask the individuals to raise money for the church.
6) Reaching out to individuals who are owners of a business and request to support these goals.
7) Motivate all members to request friends, families, workmates and other agencies to participate in this Facebook fundraising
