The Giving Layout is designed to answer the how and why your congregation should give. Using the sections you can list ways people can give at the church through online methods, or on Sunday morning. Using the tabbed section you can provide more information about budgets, vision, answer frequently asked questions, or tell stories of the impact of giving on people’s lives. The key to this layout is the Call to Action “Give Online” button that can be linked to any giving platform.

We recommend using this section to communicate an overview of why you would like people to give. This could be a bible verse, mission statement, or financial vision.

EDITING THE SECTION

This section displays above the tabbed content & uses a WYSIWYG editor so that means you can use any text formatting. 

The tab sections are WYSIWYG editors. This means you can add text, images, videos, or CTA buttons that link to pages, PDF’s, or other sites. We recommend adding current budget reports, FAQ’s, or stories. Stories can encourage generosity among your church congregation and put a face to how your gifts are spent. You could even link to a story from your articles module using a CTA button.

Now that you’ve finished adding the content, you can place it in the navigation so people can easily find the layout.
