The first benefit of Church Crowdfunding that most Ministry and Church Leaders admit to is NOT having to spell out the needs of the Church during Service and Sermons. After making members aware of their new online platforms, members can see online what the Church needs and come together to fund it. Find out more at http://churchcrowdfunding.info
Tithing is a part of worship, isn't it? If that is communicated, then the narrative is different. It's more of, 'here's the amazing things your giving has contributed to God's work'. It's subtle but different. Online communication is great and useful, but talking about money during church isn't a waste. It's biblical.
