Workshops and Events

Grow a Culture of contagious generosity in your local church or ministry organization

Communities of faith are training grounds for people to learn generosity. Growing this spiritual practice requires an investment of time and energy, like other parts of our lives. The GNJ Foundation holds regular training sessions and events on everything from Year-Round Generosity to launching or marketing a Planned Giving program.  

We offer a variety of training for every local church or ministry organization to start where you are on your stewardship journey of growing generosity. All of our events and trainings are designed for direct application and guidance on ways to utilize lessons and insights in your ministry context.

Growing Legacy and Planned Giving .GNJ Stewardship & Generosity Summit informs and inspires

AAt a GNJ Stewardship and Generosity Summit, April 18, over 80 attendees came to learn from stewardship and fundraising expert Scott McKenzie how to increase giving in their churches. What they learned is that generosity follows gratitude, and resources grow from relationships, and most churches “don’t have a giving problem. They have an asking problem.”
