Stewardship preaching, teaching no longer seasonal

January 1, 2006 by Richard Cimino

Financial stewardship is increasingly a popular theme preached in churches year-round, reports Advance (Dec. 13), an e-newsletter of the Leadership Network.

From interviews with 45 prominent churches from August through November, 2005, Leadership Network found that there is a move away from an annual stewarship season (usually in the fall) to a “more even and consistent treatment of stewardship topics throughout the year.” The newsletter also reports that an increasing number of churches are also sponsoring small-group educational ministries using curriculum from evangelical financial advisors, such as Larry Burkett and the mega church Willow Creek Association.
