"Don't miss the chance to do ELCA stewardship coaching training! The curriculum gave me practical tools for coaching people in stewardship and generosity. The cohort experience was a fantastic real-life way to immediately use what I learned from the curriculum resources. Our cohort leaders helped us integrate stewardship resources with coaching best practices. The overall experience was supportive, enlightening and fun! I'm a better coach and steward leaders for having done this training." - Rev. Lisa Smith Fiegel, Director for Evangelical Mission, Alaska Synod
