By Lisa Hancock

DATE: Tuesday, August 26, 2025
TIME: 12 Noon CDT
Music and worship arts ministries play a critical role in forming disciples through worship, using music, visual art, ritual engagement, AV/technology, and other creative endeavors. Behind all of these aspects of music and worship arts ministry is the need for resources. In this webinar, Rev. Ken Sloane, Director of Stewardship and Generosity, and Dr. Lisa Hancock, Director of Worship Arts, will introduce participants to tools and skills for crafting annual budget proposals centered around the shared goal of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Participants will receive budgeting templates, practical tools, and training on how to narrate the story behind the budget numbers. The webinar recording and accompanying materials will also be available online following the session.
