A four part interactive series that will focus on exploring together ways to build a strong foundation and a lasting strategy around stewardship and generosity in our congregations. You are invited to join other congregation members who are on a journey of becoming more generous givers.

Facilitators

Keith Magnuson of Kairos, and Jonathan Buuck of The James Company. Keith and Jonathan are offering their time as individuals who are former pastors of congregations in the Minneapolis Area Synod. Both have a strong passion for stewardship development in our congregations and are sharing their expertise to help us explore new ways to approach this vital ministry.

Who should participate?

• Pastors and stewardship leaders of congregations, who have a desire to move beyond traditional stewardship programs.
• A commitment to work with stewardship leaders of other congregations, to learn, share, and implement new and creative strategies around growing stewardship and generosity in your members.
