Holy Currencies is a holistic model for stewardship and congregational vitality, moving beyond “time, talent, and treasure” to create missional and sustainable ministries. This model with its processes, enables church leaders to understand, develop, and utilize five other kinds of currencies besides money that are essential for creating sustainable and missional ministries. These currencies are: Time & Place, Gracious Leadership, Relationship, Truth, and Wellness. These currencies flow and recirculate to form a Cycle of Blessings which empower congregations to strengthen their internal relationships as well as reach out and connect with the diverse populations in their neighborhoods. |
Mission Action Team (MAT)
Holy Currencies: (32 hours) This is an in-depth training using Holy Currencies—Six Blessings for Sustainable and Missional Ministries as the principle text. A team of leaders from a local church or ministry will learn to assess and develop all six currencies, moving toward creating new visions of missional and sustainable ministries. The team through this course will engage the church members and the neighborhood community to collect data, share and speak the truth, and access their wellness. The end result is an achievable, realistic and measurable action plan that the team can implement in order to launch and sustain at least one new missional ministry.
