"God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work"
2 Corinthians 9.8 (NRSVUE)
Generosity is at the heart of our faith. We believe in a generous God and our own generosity is a reflection of God's love in action.
Our Stewardship Team is here to help you with how we can grow in our discipleship of generosity and thankfulness as a response to God's loving kindness. Please get in touch with Robyn or Chris if you would like to know more about how we can support you and your church.
Generosity begins by creating an environment that encourages people to give, and there are four key elements to build this into your church's life:
Mechanisms
Provide a variety of mechanisms to make it easy for people to give.
Impact & Need
Show people what impact their generosity will have and tell them about your need as a church.
Trust
Build up people's trust in the church, that their gifts will be handled well.
Generosity then develops into part of our churches' culture, where we grow in an understanding of God's generosity towards us. We have four key areas to think about as we grow a generouse culture in our churches.
Inspire
Celebrating generosity to inspire people through our actions and our words.
Disciple & Embed
Disciple members through teaching and embed generosity in the life of the church.
Activate
Activate our congregations to give by providing opportunities for them to grow in generosity.
