Visual Budgets: Engaging Your Spreadsheet
 |
Research has found that humans process visuals 60,000 faster than text. Because of this what we see has a deep effect on what we do, what we feel, and what we believe. These effective techniques of visual storytelling provide a compelling way to create a genuine connection while also engaging parishioners. Resources: |
Narrative Budgets for Missional Giving
|
|
Connect every dollar in your budget to what God is doing in your lives as an active faith community through a narrative budget that inspires, interprets, encourages, challenges, and informs givers about why their pledges matter. Learn more about how to express both current impact and future needs through this powerful method of stewardship and storytelling. Resources: 1. Webinar Slides |
Fall Annual Giving and 'One Together' Annual Giving Program
|
|
2020 is a distinctive year of ministry. Our annual giving program for the fall of this year is as well. This year's theme "One Together" centers on the opening words of our Holy Baptism liturgy: "There is one Body and one Spirit; There is one hope in God's call to us; One Lord, one faith, one Baptism; One God and Father of all."

Digital Giving Now!
|
|
Studies from online providers and those that look at trends in digital giving have learned that donors who give electronically, especially when they make recurring gifts, give more than those that using checks or cash. This webinar will help you develop a plan to establish digital giving for your church if you haven’t done so already, help encourage recurring giving among your parishioners, and enhance the messaging you use to optimize your digital giving. |
Leading Where You've Never Been Before
with Terry Goolsby from Horizons Stewardship
|
|
Where you’re going you’ve never been before. That’s why you need a compass, not a map. Horizons Stewardship will serve as your guide for the upcoming webinar. Senior Vice President, Terry Goolsby, will share a proven framework for engaging your givers and elevating your capacity to meet your pressing ministry demands. There are no easy answers, no turn-by-turn instructions. What we offer is a compass--guiding principles--to help you navigate this uncharted territory and achieve your ministry objectives. |
Church Vitality Now! Giving *Now*, Digital Resources, and 'Holy Agility'
|
|
In our third of three COVID-19 response video, we discuss what giving looks like *now*, our favorite and most engaging digital resources, and how to prepare for a fall giving season rich in 'Holy Agility'. |
Church Vitality NOW! Relationships During a Crisis
|
|
In our second of three COVID-19 response webinars, we discuss stewarding relationships. Our conversations includes specific best practices to integrate or enhance in your congregations now. We discuss enriching relationships, strategic conversations with generous pledgers, and what to anticipate with the fall annual giving season. We also tee-up a conversation about how to prepare ourselves to be agile in our fall stewardship ministry - and how we can find creative and joy in this Holy Agility! |
Church Vitality NOW! Giving During a Crisis / The Giving Curve
|
|
In our first of three COVID-19 response webinars we discuss what giving looks like after after natural disasters and catastrophes – or the 'Giving Curve'. This means the normal, expected decline in plate, pledge and other revenue sources after a crisis. We talk about where your church likely is within this curve, as well as the current best practices we are seeing for healthy, responsive, godly stewardship at this point in the life of our Church and in our communities. Join us! |

The Ministry of Planned Giving
|
This workshop offers creative ideas for supporting the mission and ministry of your church with legacy gifts while fully engaging parishioners through their love of Jesus Christ. With valuable information for both congregational leaders and individual parishioners, we’ll consider our call as faithful Christians, begin to think how our personal values influence how we want to make a difference with our legacy gifts, and look at some basic legacy gift vehicles.
