Gift Development and Stewardship Training
Helping Christians Discover the Joy of Giving
Generosity is one of the fundamental principles of the Christian life described in the Bible. God's generosity to mankind inspires His people to joyously respond to His gracious gifts.
Many Christians have yet to discover the joy of a giving relationship with God. For some, it is because they have yet to understand the scriptural principles of management and generosity. Others want to support ministries, but are concerned they will have to neglect their loved ones to do so. Still others do not understand the options they have to provide for their family and support the ministries they care about.
A Heritage of Stewardship
That's where the LCMS Foundation can help. Since 1958, we have been Linking Christians with Giving Opportunities®. Our caring and expert staff has helped hundreds of thousands of donors direct more than $1 billion dollars in gifts to both ministries and charitable causes that are important to them in the name of their Lord and Savior.
At the same time, we have assisted donors in innovative financial solutions that provide blessings for their families. For more than 50 years, we've provided donors with comprehensive expertise and services to help them direct their passion for giving. Our trademarked "Lifetime Plan for Giving" process gives you a roadmap to greater joy.
Equipping Ministry Leaders for Stewardship
Today, we are committed to helping congregational leaders, pastors, development professionals and volunteer fundraisers understand and apply Biblical Christian stewardship principles for the purpose of linking Christians with giving opportunities.
The LCMS Foundation has assembled in one comprehensive series the best Christian development trainers throughout The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Our training program addresses the spectrum of issues related to helping donors discover the joy of giving and encourage gifts for today, tomorrow and forever.
