One church uses video to capture their stewardship challenge
I stumbled upon Providence Baptist Church's video presentation of their annual stewardship campaign. I was struck by the use of the words "opportunity," "participation," and "personal calling" rather than the typical langugage and vocabulary of a stewardship campaign. The script even says that financial stewardship - giving our tithes and offerings - is just the beginning.
This church "gets it." Providence provides a holistic presentation of stewardship - one that teaches that being a steward means giving our time, talent, and treasures. It connects ministry needs with ministry opportunity and in just three minutes provides a simple, effective call to action.
By the end of the video, I wanted to sign up for something. This is a great example of what is means to creatively "make the ask."
