This is an intensive course. For a general “What’s A Giving Program” course, please sign up for “Getting Started in Stewardship”. 

Come as a Team of 3-5

This course is designed for you and your Stewardship Team to develop the resources you need to get your Congregational Giving Program off the ground!  Each giving team consists of 3-5 people who are organising your giving program, plus the minister or key lay leader if you are without a minister. A smaller team means more work for each team-member. Our time together will facilitate building relationships between communities of faith, so you will be able to encourage each other in your stewardship work.

When you register for this program, we'll send you a link that you can forward to the other team members from your Community of Faith. They can use this link to register at no extra charge.

How it works

The module begins with you gathering some basic data about your community of faith and then proceeds into two 2-hour online sessions over two weeks. The week between is time to complete assignments to help you make decisions and set up materials for your giving program. Following the second session, you will book time with your “local” Stewardship Support staff to work one-on-one to help you prepare your materials so that you can run your program. Staff are also available throughout the course for support and coaching.

Teams from three or four Communities of Faith will join together in each cohort. Be sure that all members of your team can attend the same online sessions.

Data will be collected before and after the module in order to measure results and celebrate your success.
