The principles underlying effective stewardship approaches are well understood but not always well known.  These webinars will help church leaders build more effective stewardship ministries.

This program will have the most impact when both clergy and lay leaders attend together and when lay leaders include both stewardship folk and trustee/finance/treasurer folk.  A unified effort will yield the best results.  Finding ways for people to gather to discuss each session highly recommended!  Have a socially distanced “watch party.”  Gather by Zoom immediately following each session.  Re-watch sessions when you have the opportunity to be together again.

Four sessions, each starting at 7 PM
 
July 23:   Faith foundations: Moving from transactional giving to transformational giving.
