Consecration Sunday is based on a biblical / spiritual theology of the 'need of the giver to give' rather than 'the need of the church to receive.' This program has increased stewardship levels 15 to 30 percent in countless congregations of every size in the first year it was used, with similar increases in subsequent years. Focused on raising the level of stewardship rather than raising the church budget, its 'no gimmick' approach does not involve visiting in homes for pledges and has had side success in congregations that never before had an annual pledging campaign.

Every clergyperson has a persona: the public role he or she assumes in performing ministry for a congregation or organization. For example, the roles of preaching, pastoring, and church administration "go with the territory" in most congregations. These tasks are part of the employment contract. Every clergyperson also has an anima: the true inner self, reflecting deeply held ideals of conduct. Because this inner core of being controls how a pastor lives out the details of ministry, anima determines how effectively he or she fits the needs of a particular congregation or ministry role. For example, a minister who relates poorly to youth is seldom productive as a youth minister. Listing twelve elements of the pastor's anima mix, Herb Miller asserts that clergy are effective to the extent that the conscious and unconscious choices they make in developing each of these elements fit the needs of the congregation or church organization they serve. In Leadership Is the Key, he offers practical ways to influence these choices and maximize effectiveness in ministry.

This approach to financing the operational ministries of a congregation teaches stewardship from a spiritual perspective rather than from a fund-raising perspective. New Consecration Sunday is based on a biblical/spiritual theology of the need of the giver to give for his or her own spiritual benefit rather than on the need of the church to receive. Directed toward raising the level of stewardship rather than toward raising the church budget, its no-gimmick approach focuses on the question, "What is God calling me to do?" rather than on the question, "What does the church need in order to pay its bills?"Perdue Research Group interviewed people in 150 congregations that had used the original Consecration Sunday Stewardship Program. In 31 of those churches, financial giving increased 25 percent or more the first year they used it. Another 37 churches reported a 20 percent increase. Of the 150 churches interviewed, 131 had used Consecration Sunday three or four times. In one congregation, financial giving incrased 25 percent the first year, 18 percent the second year, and 30 percent the third year.In addition to the latest research, this newly revised version of Consecration Sunday offers tips for announcements, teaching, and sermons; creative ideas for beyond second-year use; and ten-year ABCs for stewardship and finance committees that can dramatically incrase any congregation's giving.
