What could your congregation or organization accomplish with a significant increase in per capita giving? In a study conducted by the United Church of Canada, congregations that consistently employed a set of operational, management, and ministerial practices designed to foster a culture of generosity, experienced on average an 84% increase in per capita giving over a six-year period.
Fellowship Congregational UCC, along with Phillips Theological Seminary, the Kansas-Oklahoma Conference UCC, and the Christian Church in Oklahoma, are co-sponsoring a two-day seminar, Cultivating Generous Congregations, facilitated by the Lake Institute on Faith & Giving at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at the University of Indiana.
Presentations include details of the practices that led to the increase in giving in United Church of Canada congregations, as well as the most current research and practices in the field of philanthropy.
You may view the flyer HERE and consider registering for the seminar on February 8th and 9th, at Fellowship Congregational United Church of Christ (2900 South Harvard, Tulsa, OK). Participant organizations are encouraged to bring a team of 2-4 individuals, including a member of the ministerial staff.
Registration closes on January 25, 2019.
