Online - Dealing with Money in Microchurches
@
As microchurch leaders we need to make disciples who grow in the grace of sacrificial generosity. But those conversations can sometimes be a little awkward or we can be unsure how to lead those times. This webinar is meant to be a guide to help us have critical conversations about giving money. Our spiritual formation towards Jesus and away from materialism depends on our grace-filled, Jesus-centered generosity. We all need to move away from being captive to our finances and towards the freedom Jesus has given us through sacrificial giving.
Join us to learn how to have conversations in your microchurch about giving finances that lead us to concrete applications and honor Jesus.
