PRACTICES
How, when and where are you telling your story?
How, when and where are you providing opportunities/invitations to give and be generous?
How, when and how often are you celebrating and giving thanks for people’s generosity?
What are the places and opportunities that you are offering to nurture a deeper sense of living a generous disciple’s life?Slide20
Stewardship Ministry
A Foundational Approach
Creating & Nurturing Your Culture
Start with Leadership (Staff, Council, Ministry Teams)
Acknowledge and celebrate your models of generosity
Create mentoring opportunities
Don’t assume anything – embrace the spectrum of giving
The Tithing dilemma
Don’t go into default modeSlide21
THE MAIN POINT
Establishing and growing a culture of generosity takes intentional and unapologetic effort. We never arrive at this place and rarely stay in one place.
Most importantly:
Stewardship is not about the church’s need for money but the believer’s need to experience the joy of giving themselves away.Slide22
