Funding Ministry? We Got You!

Stewardship resources for annual campaigns can help you plan for success
By Arlene Flancher

August’s Stewardship Leaders Program Newsletter theme of Funding Ministry? We Got You! is nearly over. We hope you have found helpful and inspiring information to guide an annual campaign, whether you have had one every year for as long as you can remember, or are trying it for the first time. Growing disciples and cultivating generous givers is hard work, and given the amount of change happening in our culture and our churches, there is no single solution.

What follows are links to a variety of annual stewardship campaign resources. My hope and prayer is that you discover something that captures your imagination and gives you ideas for engaging the people in your community around generosity and stewardship. Peace be yours. 

Helpful NEW Resources

Using tried and true methods from fundraising experts and stewardship leaders, this resource will help congregations from the beginning to the end of a stewardship campaign.
