Imagine the money we need versus what we have for ministry. Imagine they are the same.

"We like to complain that we are poor and struggling, little money, and pity us. BUT, the reality is we have as much money as we need for the mission, we are just afraid to ask for it, or we ask poorly."

This presentation addresses our situation of indifferent giving (2% as average), some US statistics, references to studies, and opens us new and different ways to raise funds and stewardship awareness.

The Christian View of Money: Selfless Leadership

Wednesday, October 3, 2018
11:00 AM 12:00 PM 11:00 12:00
Google Calendar ICS

Practice all of your leadership skills, including financial.

How might you model meaningful leadership in your ministry when it comes to money?

Objectives:

1. Providing a simple thinking construct for working with money dilemmas.

2. Developing more money applications in preaching.

3. Gaining perspective on leading diverse communities, especially in money matters.

Mark L. Vincent, PhD, CCNL is a Chair for the Eastern Wisconsin Convene Team. He is the CEO of Design Group International, and provides leadership to the Convene Consulting Network, providing wise guidance for leaders of enterprise and service organizations. Out of his own life spent building enterprise while dealing with a prolonged health battle, Mark, and his first wife, Lorie, pared and honed their answer to the question, “if there is just one thing to which you could give your life, what would it be?” The answer for Mark is to love leaders as they claim their life vocation as stewards of enterprise. His latest book is the 4th edition of The Christian View of Money.

Wednesday, September 13, 2017
11:00 AM 12:00 PM 11:00 12:00
Google Calendar ICS

This educational opportunity is sponsored by

The United Methodist Stewardship Foundation

We are thrilled to offer our first webinar with Dr. Rebekah Burch Basinger!

Join us for an hour on September 13, 2017 from 11 AM to 12 PM

All you need is a computer or smart phone,* an internet connection, and an hour!

*Please note the smart phone option will need a free Zoom app installed.

You are invited to read the webinar description below and use the form to register.

Cost is $10

Faced with escalating operating costs and shrinking attendance, it’s no surprise when pastors and other church leaders put meeting this year’s budget ahead of what God is or could do in parishioner’s hearts through their giving. This webinar will provide strategies for re-visioning your church’s stewardship program to encourage Christ-followers as generous, joyful stewards of the abundance entrusted to them, including:

Overcoming reluctance to talk about money in church;
Asking for money in ways that grow givers’ hearts; and
Using data to encourage and celebrate generous giving by parishioners.

Because this webinar contains a PowerPoint, you will need to see the presentation. You cannot join in by only a phone call. If you don't have a camera on your computer for us to see you, you will still be able to participate by typing questions/comments in the chat bar.

PRESENTER'S BIO:

Rebekah Basinger is an independent consultant for fundraising and board development, working primarily with theological schools and other faith-based nonprofits, including churches and denominations. The co-author with Thomas Jeavons of Growing Givers’ Hearts: Treating Fundraising as Ministry, Rebekah has earned the reputation as a teacher and encourager of stewardship leaders both in and out of local church settings. Rebekah serves on the boards of the Ecumenical Stewardship Center and the Friends of the Theological College of Zimbabwe. She and her husband, Randall, live in Dillsburg, PA, and are long-time members of the Grantham Brethren in Christ Church.
