Fundraising for Sunday school and Youth Group
Sunday school and youth group fund raising ideas 
Raise money for:
- A mission trip
- Sponsoring a child a 3rd world country (Ministry of Compassion)
- Trip to Praise Fest
- Raise money for a local food bank
- Purchase equipment for Sunday School or to enhance Youth Ministry
(NOTE: In the past I felt that all funding for youth events should come directly from fellowship. However, now I've seen how this can be such a posative learning experience for kids. Fund raising can teach initiative, financial stewarship, team building and many other important lessons of the Christian life.)
Raise money with a Car Wash --
Have Fun! (If you want to be successful you have to have fun! If you have lots of water and youth you will have fun.)
- Builds community
- Great connections with church fellowship (Church members will be your number 1 customers.)
- Great PR in the community (Make sure you have some big signs that can’t be missed.)
- Lets members of the congregation know there are financial needs (You will often get donations.)
- TIP: Make the car wash by donation. This really gives a sense of blessing your customers. It will be more profitable that if you charged a set fee.
-- Raise money with Bake Sales – 
Even young kids bake goodies. You might consider teaming up older members of the congregation to assist in preparation.
