Measure to Manage (and Achieve) Your Financial Stewardship Goals

We had the honor of presenting at CSN's 2024 Forum with board member Donna Nicholson-Stief.  Our session encouraged everyone to think beyond measuring generosity and track the success of their financial stewardship efforts.  We recognize that it is more challenging than measuring generosity.  In fact, 57% of churches surveyed reported that they don't track their efforts. However, it could be one of the most important steps you take to assess the health of financial stewardship in your church and its long-term viability.

He joins us in this webinar to share his findings and offer some things church leaders can do to reverse this trend.

How to Have A Compelling Offering Moment
How to Have A Compelling Offering Moment

As stewardship leaders, we understand the importance of generosity in the life of the believer. The world is bombarding Christians with messages of spending on whatever their heart desires, and it's working. In a typical week, church leaders have perhaps 60 to 90 seconds to encourage their congregation to give to God's work. This Offering Moment has to combat the relentless message of consumerism and break through to the heart of generosity that often lays dormant in God's people. In this webinar, you will learn how to share a compelling offering moment grounded in God's word so that your people will be encouraged to put God first in their lives and give generously to His work.
