Beyond Fundraising:

A Complete Guide to Congregational Stewardship

by Wayne B. Clark, Ph. D.

BeyondFundraising1Beyond Fundraising moves congregations from a myth of scarcity to a culture that welcomes, and even expects, a focus on the reality of abundance. Clark suggests that we diminish our emphasis on money by putting fundraising under the umbrella of spiritual stewardship. Beyond Fundraising introduces a new and comprehensive stewardship development program called Forward Through the Ages (FORTH) that puts money in perspective by making it one of five components of stewardship development: stewardship education; joyful giving; ministry and good works; annual budget drive; and planned giving.
