Are you in the midst of planning or carrying out a “stewardship campaign” in your congregation, but already longing for a way out of the trap of confusing stewardship with raising money?
This introductory level webinar looks at the gains of approaching stewardship as a year round trait of community life, rather than as a seasonal undertaking to raise money to meet a budget. It is designed for clergy and lay leaders who are ready to view stewardship as a way to give life to your congregation’s vision and missional-priorities.
You will learn about how to
Put together and support a Stewardship Ministry Team
Design stewardship focused worship
Plan stewardship education
Interpret you congregation’s ministries in a fresh way
