| OVERVIEW Four people from Brant Hills recently attended a "Stewards By Design" seminar led by Dr. Kennon Callahan, an internationally respected pastor, theologian, researcher, and teacher. Dr. Callahan has worked with thousands of congregations of all sizes for nearly forty years and has provided many congregations with new and energizing ways to look at mission and stewardship issues. Dr. Callahan emphasizes that human beings were designed by our Creator to be STEWARDS (i.e., caretakers) OF CREATION. As children of God, created in God's image, we are, by our very nature, "stewards by design." The Stewards By Design philosophy and teaching encourages congregations to: • Participate generously in the mission to which God calls us • Become "mission-driven" • Move towards faithful, nurturing, and abundant living • Discover and apply the twelve keys to an effective church as outlined by Dr. Callahan Your Steward By Design team wants to share the Stewards By Design resources with you so that you can fully participate in helping Brant Hills increase our effectiveness in sharing the Good News with each other, our community, and the world. We will be providing regular updates in our Sunday services, and plan to convene a Bible Study, for 5 weeks starting September 8, and a "Workshop" October 16. This web page will be updated regularly as we progress with this new venture. |
