Generosity is at the heart of Jesus’ message and ministry. 

    • “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21)
    • “Give and it shall be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, overflowing…” (Luke 6:38)

Churches are in the business of encouraging generous lives, not just for the sake of the recipient, but also for the spiritual growth of the giver.

We want to help you grow generosity in your congregation. We do this in one of two ways: Building a Culture of Generosity and Stewardship for All Seasons. 

Building a Culture of Generosity

BCG is an entry level approach to stewardship. Six virtually-led sessions August-November help congregational leaders organize a fall stewardship emphasis. Adaptable templates for all materials are provided.

Through BCG, your church can revitalize its stewardship, learn how to tell its story, and inspire generosity in your community.

More than a website with live virtual cohorts and one-on-one access to consultants, you get the inspiration and support you need to:

  • renew your vision and mobilize your congregation for generous ministry.
  • implement proven stewardship strategies that grow giving and deepen faith.
  • equip leaders and volunteers to tell compelling stories that move hearts.
  • launch lasting campaigns that transform your ministry and community.
  • build a culture of generosity that sustains mission for years to come.

The cost is $625. Register here. Nearly every congregation will see an increase. Learn more about BCG HERE.

Stewardship for All Seasons

SAS is an all year, two-year, cohort-based, more personalized coaching, that is a broader approach to all aspects of financial stewardship, and includes more one-on-one help and professionally designed graphics. The cost is $3,600. Congregations often see a 10-20% increase in giving when they focus on generosity.
