Why do people give money to support churches and other causes? The number one reason is because they were asked.” Findings from a number of research projects and surveys in different denominations all point to Stewardship Campaigns, as part of a year-round focus on generosity, as a cause of increased giving.
The GNJ Breakthrough Series, Leadership Academy and Stewardship Foundation are partnering to offer a FREE 4 week worship series with Stewardship Campaign resources entitled “GENEROUS”. It is designed for congregations to be able to lead through a faith rooted, dynamic Stewardship Campaign four weeks during October or November. Everything that your congregation needs for a very successful and inspiring Stewardship Campaign is included. This campaign will work to grow giving in your congregation as you plan for and implement each step.
This Leadership Academy course is designed to accompany the GENEROUS Breakthrough series. The course will walk you through each step of a Stewardship Campaign while using the Breakthrough series resources. What is needed from you? Pastors should form a team to plan and lead through the Stewardship Campaign. Pastors and teams are encouraged to register to attend a series of three ZOOM sessions that walk through each step of the process.
The ZOOM sessions are scheduled as follows:
Wednesday, September 13th at 7:00 pm
Thursday, October 12th at 7:00 pm
Thursday, December 7th at 7:00 pm
Register now for your access to these ZOOM meetings led by Rev. Brian Roberts, Executive Director of the UM Stewardship Foundation of Greater New Jersey.
