Annual and Year-Round Workshops
Foundation stewardship consultants conduct workshops for annual campaigns and year-round stewardship education and emphasis. These workshops review the church’s recent stewardship history, introduce effective approaches and available resources, and guide church leaders as they select and/or custom-design a stewardship program to meet annual budget needs.
