Forming and educating stewards

We cannot choose "whether or not to be stewards... We are stewards. What we can choose is what kind of steward we will be."

Stewardship events

Geographically clustered workshops or retreats are available from our staff. Interactive and reflective in nature, they can focus on whole-life stewardship, age appropriate formation activities, legacy choices, and generosity (scarcity vs. abundance). To schedule a retreat or event for a cluster of congregations or your district, please contact the Office of Mission Advancement.
