How to Talk to People About Money

​We need to be able to talk to individuals in our church communities about money and its stewardship, yet many clergy and lay leaders in the Church find that difficult. Using discussion and role-play, this half-day seminar is designed to help a rector and her/his chosen lay leader to achieve a level of comfort and ease when talking to people about money. This 4-hour seminar is a natural next component of the Stewardship of the Entirety of Our Lives © (SEOL) initiative.

Mission in the Local Context

​This 4-hour seminar engages participants in an intentional review of your current core values, local demographics and how your ministry and mission are in harmony with your church’s divine purpose. Once clear on that, a tool is taught and utilized to provide concrete, short-term steps for accomplishing your mission goals. 

Contemplative Retreat:
Nothing Short of Everything

​This 4-hour seminar engages Scripture and the discipline of contemplative prayer to build relationship and community among vestries, ministry teams, and committees, breathing new and harmonious life into stale ministries or groups experiencing the start of  conflict or the consequences of previous conflict. 

 Interim Intervention

Many churches may be  hamstrung by unresolved systems issues following a clergy transition. This seminar, designed and led by a certified interim, enables the church to move freely into its present divine purpose and invest in the short and long-term health of the parish and its rector. 

New Ministry Start-Up

​This 3-hour seminar offers a comprehensive review of the core values driving the start-up, the needs of your local context, the assets available or needed to meet those needs, and utilizes a tried and true tool for moving from dream to successful ministry.

The Basics of Grant Writing ​

This 3-hour seminar offers basic how-to information: how to find a grant, how to write a grant, how to write a grant budget, how to keep documentation for the grant, and how to report to the grantor. 

Missional Budget Development

This 2-hour seminar facilitates a mission-centered approach to the budget which becomes a tool for stewardship of the fullness of the gifts present in the parish. Group discussion of servant-leadership, stewardship, and the current expenditures of the budget enables the facilitator to work with the vestry/leadership to fit the entire budget into four missional categories then create a visual and narrative explanation to share with the membership. This seminar offers a concrete follow-up to the SEOL curriculum and is especially suited for Treasurers and Finance Committees.
