New Research into Christian Giving

The following is taken from an article on the Stewardship website and was complied by Christian Research

Evangelical Christians give nine times as much to charity as the average householder, donating more than 12 per cent of their net income each year, according to a new survey.
On average, evangelicals give 7.5% of their income to churches and a further 3% to Christian charities. We know from other research that they also give about 1.5% to secular charities.

The recent survey also found that people, who are taught more, give more. Those who were taught to give at least 10% of their income gave 26% more to their local church than those who had not received such teaching.
The survey was carried out by Christian Research for Kingdom Bank. Bill Lattimer, of Christian Research, writes in the report: “This survey shows that the more people are taught about giving, the more they give”.
The research also asked questions about wills, legacies, giving to other charities and giving accounts. You can read more about the findings of the research in Stewardship’s summary paper, and then purchase the 14 page report for just £1 from Christian research.
