The Florida-Bahamas Synod remains committed to growing Stewardship and is again offering Stewardship for All Seasons (SAS). This program helps you grow stewardship money for your congregation to increase giving and additional money for mission growth. As we work together to bring Bishop Suarez’s vision for Vitality into our congregations and the Synod, SAS will guide us through face-to-face sessions and continued support.
We have started our second round of Stewardship for All Seasons in Florida with the Synod setting aside $40,000 for first and second-year participants. Currently, the average increase in giving is 10-20%. Every church that has been involved has seen results over and well-above the initial investment cost of the program. Churches that currently have solid giving will see increased giving. Churches that struggle with giving, cannot afford to miss participating in this program.
In North Carolina, Stewardship for All Seasons is in its third year with 26 churches participating. In 2018, they have giving at $1.1 million. By building on the culture of stewardship, they have had measurable success from the dynamics of the program.
We welcome you to join us in our learning journey with Stewardship for All Seasons. To join, or learn more, or to apply for a $2000 grant towards this program, please email tom.f.oreilly@gmail.com by May 24, 2019.
We look forward to having you join us in our learning journey and to share the story of your congregation. Certainly, God is up to something good in Florida.
