My Role - Development / Stewardship Officer

Story:

As a stewardship officer, I need to understand giving patterns in the context of congregant and community well-being so I can nurture sustainable generosity and build stronger, longer-lasting giving relationships.

Guidance Criteria:

• Donor insights highlight not just capacity and frequency, but also external pressures (e.g., rising costs of living, localeconomic changes) that may impact giving frequency, capacity, and engagement.

• Early warning signals show when household stress may impact giving consistency.

• Stewardship strategies are tailored to both spiritual growth and practical support, ensuring members feel cared for holistically.

Kingdom and Institutional Value:

• Encourages faithful, sustainable generosity that is resilient to external pressures.

• Builds donor relationships rooted in shared mission and compassion, not just financial transactions.

• Ensures stewardship reflects the church’s dual role: caring for the flock while restoring ministry.
