Discovering a Dynamic Pathway to More Sustainable Ministry
Curious about creating a sustainable financial future for your congregation while fostering meaningful community engagement? Explore new funding strategies for congregational mission beyond tithes and offerings.
What you’ll gain:
Congregations across the country are realizing that tithes and offerings may not be enough to sustain their mission. Join Grace Pomroy, Director of the Stewardship Leaders Program at Luther Seminary, to learn about alternative financial models for ministry. Over the last few years, Grace has spent time doing research with over a hundred congregations who have found more financially sustainable models for ministry that are deeply connected with God’s mission for their congregation. Together, we’ll explore how God might be calling your congregation to use its resources to fulfill its mission in new ways.
