Sustaining Church Ministries

Sustaining Church Ministries • August 2023 (Online Workshop)

The Bible has a lot to say about generosity and discipleship. How we talk about giving in the church is important, because too often the narrative around stewardship lacks inspiration and revolves mainly around meeting the church budget instead of the ministry and mission God has for your church. 

In this webinar Chris is going to walk us through a full array of the different campaign models he uses with churches to help sustain the ministries of their church while growing their culture of generosity.
