Anthony Coppedge on Stewardship
As I’m trying to play catch-up on Christmas Eve now that the family is feeling better and starting to wind down before the big celebration, I wanted to go ahead and thank Anthony for speaking at the core of what an Agile Ministry is really all about:
In church, we will often make changes that are massive, but we don’t plan like it is going to cost us money. After all, we’re just a church and no one is losing money by us changing our website or upgrading our sound system or adding a new poster printer. This is flawed thinking and it is usually justified by a “cost savings” in the name of good stewardship.
“We can do it ourselves!”
“We don’t need help.”
“We’ll figure it out.”
Here’s a mantra I repeat often: “Good stewardship has a whole lot less to do with how much money is saved and a whole lot more to do with how much money isn’t wasted.”

Merry Christmas!
