Introduction...

Dear pastor and church leader,

I assume your wish for your congregation is that they grow into more committed disciples of the Lord Jesus, particularly in the stewardship and generosity of their time, talent, and treasure. Let me invite you to consider changing how you accomplish that and cultivate resources for your church.


I also assume that you agree educating them on practical and biblical stewardship and a spirit of generosity demands a deliberate, targeted, and sustained commitment. 


To support you in this important endeavor, God led me to develop an online church stewardship and generosity training course called “How to Resource Your Vision.” 

The Course Includes the Following Resources: 

  • "Why Have a Church Stewardship/Generosity Education Ministry" 7-page booklet that will help motivate you?
  • The instruction book, "How to Resource Your Vision," has 113 pages that will teach you how to do it.
  • The "Supplemental Resources" contain 68 pages of instructions that will get you started.
  • This course includes (5) Five Video lectures that walk you through the written instructions as you develop your own tailored Church Stewardship/Generosity Education Ministry.
  • Assignments for each chapter and video lecture you complete so that at the conclusion of the course, you will have your own Church Stewardship/Generosity Education Ministry in place, ready to go! Also, you will receive a Certificate of Completion from our partner, Vision International Education Network.
  • An extra 14-minute video with two downloadable documents that introduce your congregation to advanced giving strategies. It is called "Win-Win Estate/Gift Planning Strategies."
