| Stewardship Tools to Help Your Churches | |||||||
|
Over the past year, we have spoken to over 100 national and regional stewardship and development offices in the country about the state of stewardship and the needs of individual churches. The consensus is that: Our resources are designed to assist pastors and stewardship leaders with the implementation of their stewardship plans. They include numerous monthly resources, a series of self-contained, short-term stewardship programs, as well as a myriad of ancillary resources to make their jobs as easy and effective as possible. We have over 45 years of experience in developing these effective materials: The Stewardship Advisor is a robust online tool that provides pastors and stewardship leaders with a comprehensive, actionable review of their stewardship ministry and how it can be improved. We take them through a step–by–step process and immediately generate a comprehensive report for their church ... providing a wealth of knowledge about how to plan their stewardship ministry. The foundation of inspiration and education is our monthly, four-page, color insert Stewardship. It is available in English and Spanish, and in either printed or digital formats for parishes that communicate with the congregation electronically, via email or website, or that desire to use Stewardship content to customize their bulletins or newsletters. In addition, we offer Graceful Generosity, a two page, B&W insert in both printed and digital formats. The Stewardship Toolkit consists of all the communication and education resources a stewardship leader will need each month to implement an effective stewardship plan. Different materials are provided every month. We have developed many effective 3- and 5-week stewardship programs to bring focus to committing time, talent and treasure. We offer a myriad of additional reeources to assist stewardship leaders:

The story can be about anyone who has used their time, talent or resources unselfishly to give back what they have been given by God. We will choose one story each month that exemplifies gracious stewardship and it will be featured in our newsletter Stewardship, read by over 1.3 million people each month. In addition, we will donate $100 to a church or another non-profit organization of choice.

Many stewardship development offices have been successful using Stewardship to jump-start fledgling stewardship efforts by providing a limited subscription for 6 or 12 months. This can be especially true among Spanish-speaking congregations. Consider buying it for these churches for an initial period (3, 6 or 12 months) and then have the church pick up the subscription costs thereafter. Use it to focus a new stewardship effort. |
