Sharing Generosity Stories Year-Round
Generosity isn’t seasonal. By capturing and sharing stories year-round, churches can keep stewardship conversations fresh and inspiring — not just during pledge season.
20 Year-Round Story Practices
- Assign a “story curator” role.
- Set monthly story goals.
- Capture stories at every event.
- Interview ministry leaders regularly.
- Record short video clips.
- Collect quotes via email surveys.
- Feature seasonal stories (Christmas, Easter).
- Ask small groups to share gratitude stories.
- Use youth as interviewers.
- Keep a shared story archive.
- Use themes by quarter (e.g., mission, discipleship).
- Share stories in annual reports.
- Highlight donors and recipients equally.
- Repurpose stories into devotionals.
- Share stories in thank-you notes.
- Post “impact story of the month.”
- Create podcasts or audio clips.
- Share across social media channels.
- Train leaders to identify story moments.
- Celebrate storytelling successes annually.
5 Questions for Stewardship/Leadership Teams
- Who is responsible for capturing generosity stories in our church?
- How can we make storytelling routine, not random?
- Which stories have had the biggest impact so far?
- How can we use multiple platforms for sharing?
- How do we ensure stories include gratitude and impact?
Closing Thought
Stories shouldn't just show up during stewardship drives - they should shape your church's narrative every month.
