Synopsis

Where do you turn when your efforts to inspire congregational stewardship and generosity don’t seem to be working?Grace. Making their way through the Gospels, Sean Mitchell and Millie Snyder reflect on the stories, teachings, and life of Jesus and present a practical, grace-based approach for church stewardship ministries. Written for pastors, church governing bodies, and stewardship ministry teams who are disheartened and burned out on church stewardship as a fundraising only endeavor, Mitchell and Snyder offer a trans-formative alternative. The values of grace are shared as a means of revitalizing church stewardship communities. Again and again, Mitchell and Snyder remind us why our stewardship ministries need the abundant grace of Jesus Christ. Grace frees leaders from anxiously trying to manipulate members to live up to imposed expectations and instead welcomes more trust in the ever-saving, redemptive work of God. Grace invites deeper, enriching community experiences, conversations, and challenges, rather than the occasional fundraising letter, stewardship sermon, and tithing pitch. Grace is the better way. The grace of Jesus allows us to change, to begin again—to create joyful, purposeful stewardship teams and practices.
