The 2009 Ministry of Development Institute

The NEW Stewardship

January 20-22, 2009    -    Anaheim, California

As development and stewardship professionals, pastors, and ministry leaders I want to personally invite you to our new and innovative approach to training in stewardship, leadership, and development.

Our Ministry of Development Institute will provide cutting edge trends, information, and proven strategies based upon years of experience, and from the latest stewardship research.

We look forward to seeing you there!

About the Institute:

The New Stewardship is an approach to our relationship with God that encourages generosity as a way of life. Stewardship is more than a church offering, but a way of seeing the world with a transformed heart.

It is time for all church and parachurch organizations to consider stewardship as a key component of every Christian’s spiritual walk.

Our approach will be to provide you with information and training in the mornings, and then work with you in small groups or your team to apply the messages of the day. 

Who Should Attend:

Whether you are a one-person shop, part of a large team, or someone new to the field, this Institute will give you the fundamentals and the latest, important trends in development and stewardship.
