Resources

Barnabas Foundation has worked with more than 500 churches providing resources and creative ideas to motivate and equip church members to be faithful stewards. An active exchange of ideas with these churches has provided a wealth of resources, which will benefit you and your church. Our goal is to help you succeed in your stewardship initiative.

If you are looking for ideas for small groups, adults, children or church leadership, you will find a variety of options on our website. There is a tremendous need for churches to educate and assist people with managing their resources in God-honoring ways. We also have conducted research among many of our member churches, which is available as part of our resources guide under "Stewardship Research Findings."  Search through our resource guide listed here to find materials appropriate for your needs:

Estate Planning Presentations— Barnabas Foundation offers churches valuable information about biblical concepts of stewardship through presentations suitable for adult education classes, small group studies or the entire congregation. These presentations explain important principles of biblical stewardship, their relationship to Estate Planning and aspects of Estate Plans in clear, concise language. “First Will” workshops are also available. Churches can contact Barnabas Foundation to schedule a representative to make a presentation and assist with questions from the audience.

Stewardship Development —Learn how your church can support ongoing ministries, inspire new opportunities, train and equip members for ministry and encourage and secure financial support for these ministries. Church members will develop a dynamic, intimate relationship with the Lord and experience a greater use of gifts and time for ministries in the church and beyond. 

The following PowerPoint presentations are available for church leadership to use:
