Center for Faith and Giving provides support for stewardship education. We are currently offering workshops in several formats including:

• Half day
• Full day
• Weekend (including Sunday School and Worship)

Individual congregations, cluster groups, or regions can receive these resources, made possible by Disciples Mission Fund.

Workshops emphasize two major components:

• Thinking biblically/theologically about stewardship
• Best practices – those tools that enable people to better practice generosity

Faith and Giving Academy

The Center for Faith and Giving is interested in leader development and has created the Faith and Giving Academy. We want to equip and train leaders across the life of the church who can then help others learn the joy of generosity.

The Faith and Giving Academy will be taught via webinar in six sessions over the course of one year. It employs some of our best Disciple scholars, teachers, pastors, and leaders from across the whole church.

Completion of the Academy program certifies you to be an extension of the Center for Faith of Giving in your geographic area. Academy graduates will be recognized by both the regional minister in the area where they serve and by the General Minister and President.
