Stewardship Ministry A Foundational Approach Creating & Nurturing Your Culture • Start with Leadership (Staff, Council, Ministry Teams) • Acknowledge and celebrate your models of generosity • Create mentoring opportunities • Don’t assume anything – embrace the spectrum of giving • The Tithing dilemma • Don’t go into default mode

  20. THE MAIN POINT Establishing and growing a culture of generosity takes intentional and unapologetic effort. We never arrive at this place and rarely stay in that place once we think we have arrived. Most importantly: Stewardship is not about the church’s need for money but the believer’s need to experience the joy of giving themselves away and constantly inviting other people into that opportunity.
