Church leaders who regularly teach their congregations about giving can expect to
find more money in their collection plates, according to a new survey.

Christians whose churches teach that people should give at least 10% to church or
charity give an extra 26%, compared to people whose churches do not teach this. 
The survey also found that the more often a church [teaches about giving](https://blog.curriculosolutions.com/teaching-styles-quiz-what-kind-of-teacher-are-you),
the more people give.

The ‘Money Management’ survey of 1,200 evangelical Christians, from all the main
Protestant denominations, such as Anglican, Baptist and the Salvation Army, was 
sponsored by Kingdom Bank. Some of the questions were framed by the Stewardship 
Forum of the Evangelical Alliance, which helps Christians develop their understanding
and practice of biblical principles of stewardship.
