Information from Pr. Troy –  

Generosity is central to who we are as followers of Jesus. Like many aspects of our Christian walk, we need help and support to live into this truth. “Building a Culture of Generosity,” a program of GSB, is a great option as we develop our generosity both as congregations and individuals. There is teaching. There is consulting. There are all the materials needed for your fall generosity/stewardship program. Yes, it asks for financial support for your congregation’s ministries. Typically, the program will increase generosity by 5-10%. But it goes much deeper than this as it seeks to “build a culture of generosity.” This culture work will increase giving in ways not only financial. 

If your congregation would like to begin creating this culture of generosity, the cost is only $600 for the program. A Thrivent Action Grant can be used to offset some of the cost. The Southwestern Minnesota Synod will also reimburse congregations an additional $250 upon completion of the program. With both scholarships in place the remaining cost is just $100. To sign-up, register through GSB as instructed on the flyer. Also inform me, Pastor Troy Pflibsen, the synod’s Director for Evangelical Mission, so that you can receive the reimbursement when the program is completed. Any questions, please reach out. Thank you!
