An introduction to Giving in Grace

Giving in Grace is a stewardship programme for the local church. At its heart is the preparation of a case statement, a well prepared preaching series and the distribution and follow up of literature inviting the congregation and, where appropriate, the wider community to increase their giving to the local church. The core elements are complemented by optional resources including: small group and
youth and children' resources
Giving in Grace is a flexible resource, adaptable to local needs and resources. One church will choose a light touch focus on the core elements of preaching biblical stewardship and some simple literature asking God's people to respond in gratitude to God's gracious gift in Christ. Another church will embrace a patiently planned and wide ranging stewardship programme with detailed financial analysis, small groups and work with children and young people. Always, a fruitful programme will have a small planning group, leadership support and be underwritten by prayer.

The resources are comprehensive so check out the documents here which offer overview of the resources and guidance on navigating the site. A handy checklist listing the tasks involved in a programme can be found on the Checklist tab in Delivery and Evaluation.
