HOW TO DEVELOP A STEWARDSHIP/GENEROSITY MINISTRY

Hopefully, the video and booklet will help you decide if you want to explore further how you can implement a lay-led, church-wide ministry teaching biblical and practical stewardship and generosity truths to your people. If you are still interested, please proceed to Step #3.

“I introduce this ‘new approach’ and walk you through the contents and organization of this video course, ‘How to Resource Your Vision’. It includes a definition of ‘stewardship’ and an analogy that allows you to visualize what this ‘new approach’ looks like.”

“I talk about several ‘what’s’, such as ‘What do you want?’ ‘What does God want?’ ‘What does a biblically generous church look like?’ ‘What does this ‘new approach’ look like?’ What are key elements and observations of this ‘new approach?’”

“This lecture focuses on ‘WHY?’ and motivates you to get started and persevere in conducting this long-term strategic church ministry. Before starting this video, be sure to first read my booklet ‘Why Have a Church Stewardship/Generosity Ministry”. I give you a quiz to apply to your church that will reveal the giving ‘health’ of your church. The lecture ends with a list of the reasons for implementing this church ministry.”

“We now get into the detailed contents of how to design, implement, and maintain a church stewardship/generosity education ministry. What do you pray about? How do you form your leadership team? How do you create your agenda? What do you teach? Where? How do you evaluate it?” 

“Lecture Five takes you to my Supplementary Resources and other ‘content’ sources that provide teaching material for your different outlets. I also introduce you to an area of stewardship and generosity teaching that you may not be familiar with, which is contained in 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."

In addition to viewing these videos, studying, and applying the provided written materials, some of you may be led to become a certified instructor of this course through our partner, Vision International Education Network. This certificate that you receive at the completion of your course will also qualify you to teach our long-term stewardship & generosity course to other churches.
