Stewardship and Giving: How to Increase the Financial Support of Your Congregation
Developed by TENS, this guide will help you to learn about and implement fundraising best practices in your stewardship pledge campaigns. Use this valuable resource - with its detailed instructions, examples of timelines, letters, pledge cards and more - to plan your program for securing greater levels of commitment and generosity.
The Cottage Meeting Commitment Program
Small-group work in Stewardship is a keystone to many successful pledge campaigns. When we gather in small groups we share stories, experiences, and the joy of our community. This booklet contains all that you will need to implement effective small groups in your congregation’s giving program. Please visit Forward Movement for purchase and fulfillment.
The Faithful Member Home Visitation Commitment Program
The most effective fundraising is always face-to-face, and peer-to-peer. When we visit each other to invite participation in the pledge campaign, we can engage in meaningful conversation about our congregation, the ministries in which we are involved, and how we support our church. This guide gives step-by-step advice and a plan to visit every member of your congregation with a well-trained stewardship committee. Please visit Forward Movement for purchase and fulfillment.
The Festive Meal Commitment Program
Our common worship experience is built around a shared meal. For this reason the Festive Meal program resonates with many congregations. Sharing a special meal together, where we can also share our stories and experiences of mission and ministry, lead to beautiful pledge campaigns. This guide walks you through how to plan, promote, and implement this program. Please visit Forward Movement for purchase and fulfillment.
The Personal Note Commitment Program
Has your day ever been brightened by a handwritten note? In these days of isolation and digital communication, the art of writing and receiving notes may seem quaint, but it is also a beautiful tradition and lovely practice. This booklet guides a stewardship committee through the steps in writing heart-felt notes for stewardship purposes.
