Stewardship For All Seasons
“Do it yourself Stewardship.” That’s at the heart of GSB’s Stewardship For All Seasons (SAS). Created to teach pastors and congregation leaders how to design and carry out their own stewardship program, SAS will guide you to increased giving each year. Your congregation won’t have to languish for lack of money to fulfill its mission.
You’ll learn how to build a stewardship program that gets better and more productive each year. People will study the Bible, talk about generosity and money, learn the joy of giving and the joy of asking, and have an enjoyable time doing it.
Taking skills, experiences and know-how from over 35 years of working with charities and congregations, GSB has developed a way of teaching you how to do stewardship development. That’s the key word, development, day after day development – not just looking for the latest and greatest stewardship idea. You can learn to do it yourself.
