The Generosity Project: Strengthening Stewardship in Times of Struggle Webinar Announced
 The year 2020 has been the great disrupter; the Church was not exempt. Church leaders were caught in the grips of a brand new reality, shaped by a pandemic, that undoubtedly required swift adjustments, especially in the area of financial stewardship. Words like terminate, furlough, and pay cuts became common vernacular while ministry still needed to be done. This workshop, held Thursday, December 3, from 1:00pm-2:30pm EST, will help church leaders grapple with the idea of stewardship amidst this reality. We will discuss strategies to ReSet, ReFocus, ReImagine and ReEngage how we exercise stewardship to accomplish effective ministry and to promote sustainable growth in our churches. The webinar will be led by Rev. Trevor A. Hyde, Jr., Pastor of the historic Berean Baptist Church in Brooklyn, N.Y. The Generosity Project is sponsored by the ABCUSA Office of the General Secretary. |
