Funding Your Congregation's Ministry
Workshops
Theology of Stewardship |

Ways to Encourage Faithful Giving |
What inspires your members to give generously? This workshop will consider ways you can develop a congregational culture that promotes faithful giving.

The Three Types of Budgets -- Operating, Capital, and Endowment |
This workshop will examine how these distinctive budgets function to maximize ministry, sources of funds for each, and appropriate expenditures from each.
|
The Giving Pyramid and What to Make of It |
In all churches most of the income comes from a relatively small percentage of the membership with a major percentage of members giving little or nothing during the year. This workshop helps you understand how the “giving pyramid” works in your congregation and what to make of it.
|
Expanding Your Sources of Income |
How much of your operating income comes from pledge and plate offerings from members? If virtually all or most comes in this manner, this workshop will help you consider other sources that may be options for your congregation.
