Building a Culture of Generosity

Building a Culture of Generosity

13th August 2023 to 13th August 2023

Equip your stewardship team with best practices of leading a fall stewardship appeal and build a foundation for a generous culture in your congregation. Whether your congregation has never had a stewardship program or wants a fresh perspective, this program begins to build your stewardship team’s capacity from the ground up.

This program seeks to:

  • Stabilize and grow financial giving
  • Teach Biblical stewardship principles
  • Help members discover generosity
  • Build a foundation for a generous culture

Stewardship teams receive:

  • An easily implemented program designed to stimulate generosity
    • Professionally designed, adaptable materials
    • Letter templates for the stewardship drive
  • Six virtual, live training events with a GSB Consultant to guide congregations
    through a sound stewardship appeal
  • Clear tactics for sharing information and inspiration about your
    congregation’s ministry
  • 1:1 guidance from your GSB Consultant
  • At least seven videos teaching the principles of this program
  • The ability to achieve a strong financial response even in uncertain times
  • Three copies of Abundance: Creating a Culture of Generosity, by GSB Partner
    Michael Ward, published by Fortress Press.

Cost: $600 per congregation; this program is eligible for Thrivent Action Team funding ($250).

Dates: Six sessions will be held in late August through late November; exact dates and times will be announced. Sessions will be held on Zoom (link to be provided); recorded sessions will be available to those unable to attend a session.

Share this flyer with your congregation stewardship team or council. Contact Pastor Elise Rothfusz, C/SIS Director for Evangelical Mission, for more details.
