Called to Be the Church: The Journey
If you are ready to make generosity and gratitude core practices in your community of faith, then you've come to the right place.
Each course has a specific focus enabling you to set goals, create a plan, and be successful, and includes both learning and practical elements.
Your stewardship journey begins with the “Getting Started in Stewardship” course. Communities of faith that start here have better success on their stewardship journey. The 90-minute session and 3 follow-up assignments get you ready to proceed. Come as an individual participant or as part of a team.
Where you go from here depends on your needs.
Teams should choose “Stewardship Best Practices” for in-depth learning and growth, as you develop a year-round stewardship plan for your community of faith.
Teams should choose “Set Up Your Giving Program” if you want to jump right in and carry out a Stewardship Giving program in your community of faith within the next 6 months.<
Choose “Bequests and Estate Gifts” to set up a Planned Legacy Giving program for your community of faith. This can be done as an individual or with a team. It’s offered both live with instructors and other teams, and “on-demand” to learn at your own pace.
Our newest course, “Money and Personal Financial Stewardship”, is for individuals looking to strengthen their financial understanding and grow in faith-based generosity practices. This might be a course that leaders offer to those who are new to the church or facing financial challenges.
Whichever you choose, you will spend focused time with a Growth and Stewardship Animator and folks from other communities of faith. Be inspired by a program with a proven track record and receive coaching and on-going support that reflects your community of faith’s unique calling, focus, and resources.
