Stewardship Ministry training for Churches, this training goes hand in hand with the Cash Management Procedure found in the resources page of NCCMN.ORG.
All too often parish councils seem to be personality-driven or appear to blunder about in the dark with little information to base their decisions upon. Or worse, there is scant reference to the mission of the parish and whether or not this decision moves the parish closer to fulfilling that mission or leads to “mission drift.”
Raising the funds to meet the mission and ministry needs of churches is becoming increasingly challenging. During this webinar we will look at some of the critical factors that make a church financially healthy and what tools you need to see where you are at and positive goals to aim for. We will discuss how to be good stewards of your church’s resources and explore some best practices for overseeing your finances. Through this Webinar you will learn how to:
* Principles of stewardship and how it impacts your church
* Implement a stewardship plan
* Demonstrate accountability for managing your funds
* Review financial reports to make strong financial choices
* Review and monitor giving trends within your congregation and membership
In this presentation we share the outcomes from our first round of Listening Posts where we shared who we are and who we are called to be, and information about our needs for a Director of Youth and Family Ministries to fulfill our staff.
The principles of front and back doors in your churchPLAcademy
Who is your church designed to reach? Is your church for everyone? You are currently reaching a segment of the population—not the entire population. The way you do church (a combination of your mission and vision, but even more importantly, your organizational culture and strategy) has an inevitable filtering effect:
Tired of the endless cycle of fundraising events? Frustrated with the struggle to even modestly increase stewardship giving? Treasured dreams of parish development constantly postponed? A major gifts program may be a big part of your solution.

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

vision;

community.
