Generosity Momentum Built Through a Discipleship Pathway

How Generosity 360 Helped a Fast-Growing Church Close the “Growth Gap”
A fast-growing church was experiencing incredible attendance momentum. Their weekend engagement was climbing and their reach in the community continued to expand. But as the church grew, giving wasn’t keeping pace. More people were coming, but fewer were becoming consistent givers. Meanwhile, ministry demand and operational complexity were increasing, and the church’s ability to expand staff, invest in ministry, and plan long-term was constrained. Leadership felt the stress of growing impact without the financial structure to sustain it.
So they partnered with Generis (May 2025–January 2026) to provide clarity, coaching, and a plan they could implement with confidence. Through Generosity 360, the team shifted the conversation from “meeting budget needs” to forming disciples through a clear, repeatable generosity pathway. With giving data insights, staff coaching, and a practical implementation plan, the church aligned its leadership around a shared strategy, helping people move from attendance → engagement → ownership → generosity, and building a system that can scale with continued growth.

The Outcome
The engagement concluded in January after the completion of Generosity 360 and early sustainability planning for what would come next. The results met and in several ways exceeded expectations, establishing a foundation that will serve the church long-term.
A major high point was clarity and alignment: the staff and leadership moved from “we should talk about giving more” to a unified discipleship strategy that felt authentic to the church's culture. And the breakthrough wasn’t only that people gave more, it was that more people began giving consistently, a sign of long-term generosity formation rather than temporary giving spikes.
What Churches Can Learn From This Story
Growth exposes gaps — attendance growth is incredible, but it reveals where systems must mature
Generosity is discipleship — shifting the mindset from “funding needs” to “forming disciples” changes everything
Participation matters most — sustainable growth comes from more people giving consistently, not a few people giving more
Consistency beats intensity — churches don’t need a louder ask; they need a structured, repeatable plan
Outside coaching accelerates clarity — having an objective, experienced partner helps leaders move faster with confidence
