In partnership with the Presbyterian Foundation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the ELCA Stewardship and Generosity team is proud to present a three-day conference dedicated to digging deeply into stewardship and generosity, utilizing workshops and plenaries that highlight diverse and authoritative voices from across the PCUSA, the ELCA and partner church bodies. This year we’ll be in Portland, Ore., exploring what “makes stewardship weird,” and hearing from a number of voices engaged in both practical and cutting-edge thoughts around fueling ministry.
August 4-9, 2024
The College for Congregational Development is a comprehensive training program for clergy and laity in congregational and organization development. Because the College seeks to improve the way that leaders function in congregations, congregations are strongly encouraged to send clergy-lay teams to the College.

Join Bishop Meggan Manlove on Zoom for six sessions of Bible Study April 9-May 21. Our theme verses for our three Regional Gatherings are Ezra 3:10-13, but what about the larger context? Join me as we dive into these less familiar, at least to me, books of the bible. We will explore the historical context of the books, their literary form, and what the Lutheran Christian lens brings to the texts. We will read some passages devotionally. 6:30pm Pacific/7:30pm Mountain. Tuesdays, April 9, 16, 30, May 7, 14, and 21.
5-6:30 p.m. Central Time
Tuesdays, April 16–May 21
How do we, as communities of faith, change our thinking on stewardship and generosity to meet the challenges of the moment?
