Church Finances Quiz

Here's a quiz on church finances that you can use to encourage discussion in your finance committee, church board, or Sunday school classes.  A link to the answers is provided at the end of this page.  All items are TRUE or FALSE:

  1. Most church members don't want to give substantially more than they currently are.
  2. Young adults tend to have different motivations for giving to the church than older adults have.
  3. Offering people the option of having their pledge automatically deducted from their checking account will increase giving to the church.
  4. Permitting pledging to more than one fund will hurt the overall income of the church.
  5. Encouraging children to practice tithing or proportionate giving makes it more likely that they will give generously as adults.
  6. People who share in conversations about money in the church are frequently upset by those conversations.
  7. If a church has an endowment fund, the giving of the members of the congregation usually declines.
  8. A spring financial campaign can be just as effective as one in the fall.
  9. Fewer congregations are conducting every member visitations.
  10. A financial crisis is coming for many congregations.
