Stewardship

Stewardship in Action

What if stewardship wasn't something we talked about only when it was time to create the budget or hold an annual giving campaign?
 
Stewardship is a way of life—our response to all that God has first given us.
We're excited to share the new IK Synod Stewardship & Generosity Resource Guide, created to help congregations find practical resources for the stewardship questions they are facing right now.
Wondering how to build a culture of generosity? Connect faith and money? Tell the story of your ministry? Explore new and sustainable ways to fund ministry? Think differently about your building or property? The guide can help you find a place to begin.
 
You'll also find information about upcoming IK Synod Stewardship Series opportunities for pastors, deacons, and lay leaders as we continue learning together about generosity, storytelling, narrative budgets, sustainable ministry, stewardship in small congregations, and faithful use of church property.

 

We completed meeting one of our Joy of Generosity series!   Check out the video if you missed it! 

 

Your Mission Support: Third Quarter

In this quarter’s Mission Support Letter, Bishop Timothy Mark Graham reflects on the profound ways your congregation’s generosity is shaping ministry across the IN-KY Synod.

Grounded in gratitude, hope, and trust, this update highlights how mission support fuels relationships, raises new leaders, strengthens congregations, and equips ministries for the life of the world.

We encourage you to share this update with your congregation. It offers meaningful insight into how offerings are used, how mission support strengthens our shared work as the ELCA, and how your congregation’s faithful giving continues to make a real impact.

You’ll also find a helpful resource, “What Does My Offering Do?”—a clear, accessible tool for deepening understanding and inspiring conversation in your congregation.
