Kirsten Schwartz was Director of Generosity at a large multi-site church in Cincinnati where she built a holistic generosity culture for the church. The results showed increased giving, improved church participation, and evidence of changed hearts.  In fact, the church exceeded their stretch goal giving budget each year with a generosity discipleship approach without doing a campaign.  Kirsten is now the Director for Church Partnerships for Generous Giving whose goal is supporting churches as they develop a culture that excels in the grace of generosity.

Kirsten will be speaking from practical experience on how to move the needle when growing a culture of generosity in your church and how it starts with church leadership. She will talk about the five things the most generous churches in the USA consistently do.

Generous Giving is a non-profit organization whose vision is to see the generosity of God displayed through the generosity of God’s people. Generous Giving is privately funded; they do not sell anything, and they never ask for donations. Their resources are free with the goal of seeing Christians grow in their faith as they become open handed in all areas of their lives. All church staff are welcome at this lunch, though lead and executive pastors are the target audience.
