In many congregations, the word “stewardship” is used only during annual pledge campaigns. Yet stewardship involves our whole lives: every activity, every day. The annual campaign is simply one tool to inspire generosity. Congregations thrive spiritually and financially when they follow a comprehensive, year-round plan for teaching financial stewardship and generosity. You are invited to explore these concepts and learn the six core elements of year-round financial stewardship and generosity. This workshop is led by financial advisor, pastor and fundraiser Michael Erwin.
