General Session

In this session–Stewardship or Ownership–Biblical stewardship calls us to manage what belongs to God. We all want to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” This session gives practical ways to excel as a steward without assuming the role of owner.

Workshop I
Clements Room–Jan Couch
In this Workshop–Finishing Well, Saving and Investing for Retirement—Scripture supports saving, beginning with Joseph, saving in the fat years for the lean years. Just because some have abused the message of the blessings of prosperity for their own personal greed, is not a reason to stop teaching the blessings of sound biblical stewardship which results in “plenty” and a plan for the leftovers.
10:15 am
Workshop II
Murray Room–Michael Luithle
In this Workshop–Online Giving Options for Churches—Opening the digital door of offerings! In a constantly changing landscape of online services, moving to online giving can be a daunting task. This workshop will not only talk about costs and considerations but will also give insight into the ever-changing range of services to help you make the best decision for your church.

General Session
Clements Room | Speaker–Bishop Daniel Felipe
In this session, Building Trustworthy Ministries, Bishop Daniel Felipe will explore a fundamental ingredient for healthy biblical stewardship: TRUST. Contrary to popular belief, trust is not simply a feeling towards individuals or institutions. Trust, or the lack thereof, is a rational conclusion resulting from observed behaviors. This session will delve into the practical elements of trustworthiness and how we can harness them to build ministries that people trust.

General Session
Clements Room | Speaker–Jan Couch
In this session–In God We Trust—God gave us the principle of tithing and giving to teach us to trust Him. He gives us a clear path to the true riches, priceless blessings that money can’t buy. People who trust in God’s faithfulness are a beacon, a magnet, to a materialistic, discontent, fearful, struggling world.
2:00 pm
Workshops III
Murray Room–Bishop Jeffrey and Sherri White
In this Workshop–Preparing an Effective Church Budget-Developing a church budget does not have to be a painful process. This session will give the essential components of developing an effective budget to increase stewardship of the church’s resources.

Workshops IV
Clements Room–Michael Luithie
In this Workshop–Church Management Systems—Managing your church information is a vital task in today’s culture. Reports, spreadsheets, and address lists are just the tip of the iceberg when managing a church. This workshop will dive into what is available and how much it might cost. Every church has different needs so understanding the vocabulary of church management software will help you make an informed decision.
