You’ve heard about Narrative Budgets, but really, we need to talk about them for what they are: Mission Plans. You’ve probably even seen some examples, or even seen a few mini demonstrations on what they are, why they work to convey your community’s impact, and have an idea of how they’re assembled. But maybe the process is still too confusing or too daunting for you.
If so, this webinar is for you.
At 6pm MST on Mondays, 5/6/2024 and again on 9/9/2024, Pastor Tim Brown, Director for Congregational Stewardship Support, will lead a webinar going step-by-step on how to create a Narrative Mission Plan hosted by our Grand Canyon Synod Stewardship Team.

Bring your current 2024 budget (narrative or otherwise) and get ready to do some work in real-time to start the process. Over the course of 45 minutes (with plenty of time for questions), this webinar is intended to get you well on your way so that you can present a Narrative Mission Spending Plan for next year. Pastors, council members, stewardship teams, and all interested parties are welcome to attend!
