Presenter: Rev. Michael Turner
Many pastors and church leaders dread talking about money. Many more lay people dread hearing about it. At the same time, we all know that money is necessary for every congregation to accomplish what God has called it to do. Therefore, many leaders approach “stewardship season” or capital campaigns as events to be endured in order to get to the real ministry.
What if there were a different way? What if you never needed to have a capital campaign again? What if generosity were so incorporated into your church’s culture and way of making disciples that it flowed naturally from your process of making disciples? What if your church’s generosity wasn’t just spoken of as money coming in, but more importantly as ministry going out in outwardly facing missional impact? What if missional giving didn’t compete with operational and capital giving, but each helped the other grow?
In this webinar we will explore a proven way to incorporate generosity into the fabric of your congregational culture. Since money is a heart issue, we cannot avoid talking about it. Practicing generosity is one of the key disciplines by which grow as disciples of Jesus. After all, if we can trust God with our money, it is easier to trust God with everything else. Discipleship-based generosity focuses on what we want FOR our congregations instead of what we want FROM them.
The cost of the webinar is $15 per participant.
