PROMOTING PLANNED GIVING IN THE LOCAL CHURCH | Dr. Jay Earheart-Brown
What is planned giving?  What steps could my church take to begin an emphasis on planned giving?  Come and learn the reasons why every church should have a planned giving program.

PREACHING GOOD NEWS ABOUT MONEY & MINISTRY TO A CYNICAL GENERATION | Dr. Chris Davis
Some of the hardships on preaching about money and stewardship is delivery and sound biblical work that doesn’t make the center of your message about the finances, but rather about your faith.  Come and learn from Dr. Chris Davis as he shares with you tools on how to craft a message that will empower, educate and edify both the preacher and those in the pews.
