The Future of Stewardship Consulting

Today I spoke to 25 stewardship strategists with Generis, a group that I consider to be the leading player among folks who want to help you raise money for your church. What I appreciate most about them is their desire to add value beyond the typical campaign approach that has been around for 40 years. At their annual training event they spent time learning about how to be thought leaders, and how to leverage the message of Church Unique- casting missional vision and creating redemptive movement.

It's an exciting time to think about renewing and reinventing our approach to capital campaigns. What can you look for? Savvy leaders are moving beyond campaign language and even stewardship language to the ideas of transformation and creating a culture of generosity. The movement is away from an event orientation to an ongoing process with unique approaches for each local context.
