The Grateful Living Series

The Grateful Living Series speaks to the Office of Stewardship and Development’s double-emphasis on fundraising and formation.

This interactive learning experience is designed to deepen the congregation’s understanding of the tenets of Christian Stewardship and the five seeds of gratitude. Beginning in September and ending in December, this interactive journey will include book discussions, financial planning seminars, service opportunities, and moments of fellowship.

For more information on the Grateful Living Series contact Rev. Dustin Pickett.
