Embarking on a Journey of Generosity: ELCA's Fall Cohorts

How do we, as communities of faith, change our thinking on stewardship and generosity to meet the challenges of the moment? In partnership with the Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, the ELCA is offering congregations the opportunity to reexamine their stewardship thinking and imagine ways to act on their findings in their communities. Starting October 10, 2023, the six-week webinar “Cultivating Generous Congregations” will offer virtual cohort sessions (4 on live zoom, 2 doing your own work online) where congregational leaders can discuss, dissect and collaborate on how generosity might work in their contexts. The webinar costs $550 per congregation, plus workbooks ($30 each). 

These cohorts have a proven track record of helping move congregations in generosity and mission! For a deeper look at what the webinar entails, watch this brief Cultivating Generous Congregations video.

Please contact the Rev. Larry Strenge (Larry.Strenge@elca.org) and the Rev. Tim Brown (Tim.Brown@elca.org) if you’re interested in participating! They will work with your synod to get you registered for the Fall cohort.
