Reshaping your Giving Culture

CFCS consultants assist sessions in understanding financial stewardship and in reviewing annual budgets, and provide counsel for helping congregations and presbyteries discern their vision and mission. Our CFCS staff is prepared to speak or preach on stewardship and giving to reinforce the message of funding the church's ministry. Through our analytical tools, we can assist congregations in benchmarking their progress over time in developing a better stewardship culture.

If you have a financial concern and seek an outside opinion or assistance, contact our CFCS office in Louisville to discuss our ability to respond to your need or our recommendation of denominational resources available to assist you and your congregation.
