Stewardship Resources
“As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord.” – USCCB
Teaching stewardship and growing giving can be intimidating for pastors, church administrators, and volunteers new to the field. We are here to help guide you through the process of securing funds for your parish and ministry needs without fundraising.
Our parish capital campaigns follow the same principles of discernment and engagement that you will find in the stewardship resources and guides we provide for free below. If you are getting started with a church capital campaign, building project, preparing for an annual stewardship campaign, or just trying to grow a culture of generosity at your church, you’ll find what you need to get started here!
Social Posts to Teach Stewardship
We produce social media posts to promote the practice of stewardship. Feel free to share directly from our social pages as we publish. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive links to edit the posts in a free Canva.com account. Add your logo, or change the scripture. Then post weekly on your social pages to develop stewardship awareness in your parishioners. (You can also use these images in your bulletin.)
