Seedlings and Saplings: Nurturing the Generosity of Children and Youth
Generosity begins at home, and it's never too early to start. Children and youth have a tremendous capacity for generosity; the goal of this module is to give ministries and families fun and effective ways to nurture children and youth in habits that will lead to lifelong generosity. A bonus is that the adults will also grow in their practices of generosity along the way!

Branching Out: Engaging Newcomers as Partners in Ministry
When people are new to your ministry, will they be consumers or contributors? A limited window exists to actively engage them in meaningful ways. This module will help you get off to the right start with your newcomers, inviting them to consider how their story is part of a larger story, the gifts they can offer, so they can become active contributors to your ministry and beyond for years to come.

Increasing Yield: Producing a Bumper Crop of Generosity Within Your Ministry
Most ministries operate on the 80/20 Rule: 80% of the work and money comes from 20% of the people. Even meeting budget is still underperforming potential. What could God do in and through you with more resources available? This module helps your ministry move toward maximizing its generosity potential, through vision sharing, story-telling, celebration, learning how to ask and follow-up with givers.

From Tree to Orchard: Becoming a Generous Organization
Mature and healthy ministries are generous beyond themselves, multiplying and investing resources in kingdom work being done beyond their own walls. This module invites individuals to name the Biblical stories, experiences, true-isms, and anecdotes that inform their own understanding and practice of generosity, and then how those same principles can be implemented at an organizational level.

Autumn Planting: Planned Generosity at the End of a Congregation's Life
After decades or centuries of ministry, the decline and pending closure of a congregation is emotionally difficult. Yet, there is a tremendous opportunity for generosity at this end. While one choice is to squeeze resources tightly in order to keep the doors open as long as possible, this module is for congregations whose life cycle is ending and want guidance on faithfully leaving gifts that allow the congregation's legacy to live on.
