Ministry Memberships: People Will Pay For What They Need
Manage episode 434414974 series 3552899
In this episode of the Ministers in the Marketplace podcast, we explore the concept of ministry memberships as a powerful way to engage supporters and fund your ministry. Discover how offering exclusive content through memberships not only provides value to your community but also creates an opportunity for them to sow into you and your ministry.
We discuss the balance between free and paid services, addressing the common concerns and hesitations around charging for ministry-related content. Learn how to overcome these challenges and understand that God can use both free and paid content to bless others and sustain you and your ministry.
Join us as we delve into practical steps for researching and creating effective membership models tailored to the unique needs of the people you are called to serve. We hope this message inspires and encourages you to build a platform that benefits both your ministry and your supporters.
*DISCLAIMER*
Using your gifts outside of the context of serving others is not what this episode is about. Using your spiritual gifts to elicit money from people is against the word of God. But using your gifts along with your natural talents and abilities is what this episode is about. I’m not advising anyone to go against the principles of the bible, just emphasising on the idea that our gifts can be used to serve a group of people as a paid service within reason. Please note and paid content you create should bring glory to God, anything outside of that is not.
Ministry Membership Tips: Offer your audience an opportunity to sow into your ministry.
Think about the different ways you can fund your Ministry through subscription-based membership. Whether that is through a platform like podcasting (Podbean), YouTube or blogging. Creating exclusive content and share it with a group of people who will benefit from it, is a great way to earn an income. Note to self: Not everyone is going to value what you have to offer (Matthew 7:6), but the people you’re called to serve will. What you charge is between you and God!
