Stewardship Leader Christian Stewardship Network

A troubling church statistic that seems not to be improving is the number
of people not giving anything measurable to their church. Have you asked
yourself why a significant number of your congregation isn’t giving? We
have, too! To answer that question, Dave Briggs, the Stewardship Director
at Central Christian Church in Phoenix, AZ, decided to do a year-long study
to better understand this phenomenon. He joins us in this webinar to share
his findings and offer some things church leaders can do to reverse this
trend.

Get ready to unlock the potential of giving in the Church with MortarStone’s 2023 Annual Generosity Report. In this episode of Stewardship Leader, we’re discussing some of the findings from this insightful report to help church leaders get a better understanding of the significant shifts and trends in generosity in the Church. We believe this information is crucial to the future of the Church and beneficial for church leaders for helping people grow in their commitment to God and funding God’s kingdom.

For the second year, CSN and Vision 2 have collaborated to develop the Stewardship Survey to understand what churches are dealing with and to develop recommendations and resources to help them disciple their congregations in stewardship and generosity. In this episode of Stewardship Leader, we discuss our findings and provide recommendations to assist you with your ministry efforts.

Helping our congregations to live as good stewards and generous people is a responsibility church leaders should take seriously. Oftentimes, it is a lack of financial education that prevents people from growing in this area of their faith. Thankfully, there are people in our midst, like Stephen Hartley, our guest in today’s episode, who are passionate and willing to provide the education and knowledge our people need. In this episode, we’re talking about a not-well-known tool, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), available to seniors that will help them better steward their resources and perhaps increase their generosity.

In this episode of Stewardship Leader, we have another leader in the
stewardship spotlight. We’re talking with Greg Gless from ResLife Church in
Grandville, Michigan. Greg is the Generous Life Pastor and oversees the
stewardship and generosity ministry at ResLife Church. His God-story of
coming into and serving in this ministry is inspiring, as is his impact in
serving the people at ResLife and beyond. You will enjoy hearing Greg and
his story.
