Beginning a Culture of Generosity (BCG) is a new and timely program to help guide congregations and provide the necessary tools to run a successful fall appeal. BCG will give your stewardship team confidence right now while everyone is working through a variety of very real financial stressors. Congregations will receive training online in 6 sessions and 1:1 guidance on an easily implemented program.

Registration is open through August with the first session scheduled for August 14, 2021: "Building Blocks for Generosity". View the info page on gcsynod.org, or download the information and registration PDF. Register online here.

3E and the Grand Canyon Synod are offering a $500 scholarship for each congregation toward the program cost of $650. Each congregation is responsible for $150 of the program cost and their own fall appeal printing costs for bulletin inserts/brochures. (Adaptable professional design templates are included in the program fee.) It is also suggested that this program could qualify for Thrivent Action Team grants (a $300 value).
