Help Us Shape a New Stewardship for Life Resource

Faith. Money. Freedom. Pilot Group

Thursdays, October 22, 29, & November 5. 10:00-11:00 am PT / 11:00 am-12:00 pm MT / 12:00-1:00 pm CT / 1:00-2:00 pm ET. Online via Zoom.

As Caffeinated Church expands in 2027 to include Stewardship and Evangelism alongside Communications and Administration, we are broadening the kinds of practical resources we offer. Stewardship for Life will focus specifically on personal finance—helping individuals explore their own relationship with money through the lens of faith. It will differ from the resources we are also developing for church stewardship campaigns, but it will also be grounded in the belief that conversations about generosity begin with our own money stories, values, choices, and experiences.

This fall, we’re inviting up to 20 people to help us test and shape one of the first Stewardship for Life resources: Faith. Money. Freedom. This faith and personal finance guidebook explores the relationship between our money stories, our values, our faith, and the lives we are building. Through practical exercises, conversation, prayer, and theological reflection, participants will consider their own financial lives—from saving and spending to generosity, relationships, enough, and the choices that shape the future.

The pilot group will meet on Zoom for three sessions beginning Thursday, October 22. Each session builds on the last, so participants are asked to attend all three meetings and complete up to one hour of assigned work before or after each session.

Participants should come expecting to engage the material personally, not primarily as a tool for their congregation. At the same time, people involved in stewardship ministry may find that examining their own experiences with money provides useful insight into how we invite others into conversations about generosity. Participants will also help us evaluate and improve Faith. Money. Freedom. before it becomes part of the growing Caffeinated Church resource library.
