When vision-casting for your church, do you invite the next generation into the room?

This aspect of thriving churches is perhaps obvious: Effective ministry takes time, money and people. It may also seem obvious that bigger, wealthier churches would be more likely to thrive—but there are nuanced ways to understand how churches approach stewardship. Barna’s research suggests measuring the stability, not necessarily the amount, of fiscal and personnel resources within an organization—in other words, quality rather than quantity. Fifty-six percent of leaders offer high scores for the resource stability of their church, meaning they have financial optimism and believe their church has enough volunteers and leaders to operate effectively.

Resource stability is essential for the thriving of a church, the well-being and health of leaders and the confidence of congregants. This forthcoming course will help you assess your current resource stability, as well as equip you with helpful resources you can utilize to grow in this dimension.
