Class 1—Strategy: Understanding the Culture of Your Church
A decade ago, few were talking about “generosity” in the church. Now this topic has enormous currency. What is “generosity” and a culture of generosity? There are specific things that a church can do to promote generosity. Gimmicks need to be avoided and authenticity must be embraced. What does this look like for your church? What are the biblical themes and passages that undergird this concept? Some churches have seen enormous gains in the donation of time and financial resources. How has this happened? This lecture-discussion will examine this significant trend in the church.
Giving to Your Church Problem

Silence is a position (and not a healthy one – it is dysfunctional spiritually)
