What is a Stewardship Calendar?
Barnabas Foundation's Stewardship Calendar is a simple plan to help your church become:
- Committed to developing a life-changing stewardship mindset and
- Passionate about managing the gifts God has given them
If your church has offered little in the way of stewardship
resources or programs we recommend you take a look at our Basic
Stewardship Calendar. Or, if your church has provided some stewardship initiatives, the Comprehensive
Stewardship Calendar may be right for you.
What's included in the Stewardship Calendar?
Drawing from Barnabas Foundation's years of experience helping hundreds of churches grow in stewardship, the Stewardship Calendar includes month-by-month recommended resources and ideas for:
Preaching
Small groups
Offerings |
Events
Communications
and more! |
Why does our church need a Stewardship Calendar?
Stewardship is central to discipleship, because how we manage what God has given to us is a reflection of our heart. You can't be right with God and wrong with money.
The Stewardship Calendar is a wonderful growth opportunity to help your church develop good stewards. Good stewards are committed, passionate disciples. They are in tune with God's heart. They serve the Lord with gladness and bear much fruit. And they give cheerfully and sacrificially.
How do we get started with the Stewardship Calendar?
- Print copies of this page and the Stewardship Calendar (see below), show them to your leadership team, and ask them for their support.
- Choose which resources and ideas will work best in your church. The Stewardship Calendar recommends tools and action items, organized by month for easier implementation.
- Contact Barnabas Foundation with any questions. We’re just a phone call or e-mail away!
If your church is just beginning a stewardship journey, the
BASIC Stewardship Calendar
is a good place to start initiating limited activities and resources
during the year.
If your church has had experience with stewardship resources in the
past, then you are ready to use the COMPREHENSIVE Stewardship Calendar.
