Understanding that individual giving has remained stable over the past 30 years while the church's share continues to decline, churches have been working even harder to grow financial stewardship among members. This awareness and proactive response are the first steps to address the issue. It is the next step, measuring the results, that many churches are not completing.

How can you bridge the gap between your ministry’s financial resources and its mission and vision?

This insightful webinar with Martus Solutions, a leader in budgeting and reporting software for churches, Tammy Bunting CAS, will address one of the most pressing challenges ministry leaders face: connecting financial resources to the mission and vision of your ministry.

In this webinar, we explore the multifaceted nature of communicating generosity within the church and emphasize the importance of language, storytelling, and gratitude.

What does it take to construct a giving moment that helps connect your congregants' hearts to the spiritual significance behind it?

Whether you're giving moment is an in-person part of the weekend service or a digital encounter throughout the week, how do you use this moment to connect believers to God as an authentic part of their discipleship?

In this virtual workshop, we learned from the team at Life.Church and their strategy for creating an authentic spiritual moment through multiple locations.

Why are stewardship and generosity used interchangeably in the Church but nowhere else? You will never hear a business refer to the stewardship of its customers, employees, or products as an act of generosity. Yet, in the Church, they are often used synonymously as if they mean the same thing. Stewardship is the responsible management of resources, while generosity is an act of giving to others. A better way to state the difference is that generosity is about what you give away, and stewardship is what you do with what you keep. In this webinar, we will show the difference between Biblical stewardship and generosity, why they are essential teachings for every follower of Christ, and share effective methods church leaders can use to incorporate these teachings into their church's discipleship process.

In this webinar, David Thoroughman and Tim Dieatrick from MortarStone and Leo Sabo from CSN host an enlightening webinar about national giving trends and what you should know as it relates to funding your ministry for the next generation using 2000-year-old biblical teachings with current-day application. In this webinar, we will teach you how to develop a ministry of non-cash giving similar to para-ministries and non-faith non-profits. Whether you are a pastor, stewardship leader, or involved in financial discipleship, this webinar will equip you with practical tools, strategies, and insights to transform giving to your church. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners and industry experts as you embark on a journey to unlock new levels of stewardship and discipleship within your congregation.

Giving data can be a powerful tool for your church to use in making informed decisions and growing disciples. By understanding the giving patterns of your congregation, you can identify trends and make informed decisions about how to allocate resources, plan events, and develop outreach programs. More importantly, you can identify pastoral opportunities to offer more support, guidance, or encouragement in your people's spiritual journey. In this CSN webinar, we learned how giving data can help your church gain valuable insights to make better decisions and grow disciples.

In today’s “New Normal,” churches are experiencing decreasing attendance rates and share of overall charitable giving. To help churches respond to these challenges, Christian Stewardship Network and Vision2 together surveyed churches of all sizes and denominations to collect a meaningful set of stewardship insights. Our goal is to use survey results to develop essential tools and benchmarks.
