The Episcopal Network for Stewardship (TENS) is proud to collaborate with the Diocese of Southern Virginia to bring a four-webinar series on stewardship topics throughout the year. Meeting for 90 minutes on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m., this series will bring together church leaders, stewardship volunteers, and fundraising experts to teach and learn classic and innovative approaches to funding ministry in your congregation.
Virtual Stewardship 201 - Wednesday, April 7, 6:30 p.m.
We learned so much in 2020 about online fundraising in
congregational ministries. Learn from faithful practitioners of
stewardship and gratitude about the best fundraising platforms to raise
money online in your congregation. We will explore practical tips on
formation and education opportunities that cultivate generosity
throughout the year. To see the TENS Virtual Stewardship 101 webinar
from July 2020, please visit the TENS website, www.tens.org. To register for Virtual Stewardship 201, click here.
