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
