Conference Program
Christians and Money Conference
4th Annual Stewardship Conference - April 28, 2010
Growing Generosity: The Challenge
Stephen Grabill, General Editor, NIV Stewardship Study Bible 
How do we engage our churches in holistic stewardship? Scripture tells us that each of us is a steward of God's design for every area of life and that stewardship is one of the Christian's most profound privileges. What do we encounter in moving our congregations to an understanding of our sacred calling?
Highlights from Recent CRC Church Survey
Rodger Rice, Barnabas Foundation Stewardship Consultant
The CRCNA's 150th Anniversary research asked churches about their current needs. The final report concluded with, "Five Keys to Healthier Congregations." Among these five, Stewardship Education was identified as a major area of concern. We will explore evidence of why this is true and characteristics that define levels of stewardship in congregations.

Revolutionary Stewardship Resource
Facilitated by Stephen Grabill,
General Editor, NIV Stewardship Study Bible
Stewardship is about more than money and the "stuff" of life. From that basic connection, the NIV Stewardship Study Bible uses a variety of engaging features to encourage believers to view their lives in light of God's ownership. Pastors and church leaders will be impressed by the wealth of material for stewardship applications in this stand-out resource.
