Meet Steve Stroope (plus Free Download)

I had a blast yesterday on the Improve the Financial Fitness of Your Church Webinar with my friend and coach Steve Stroope.

Steve is the Lead Pastor of the 10,000+ member Lake Pointe Church in Rockwall, Texas, co-author of Money Matters in Church with Aubrey Malphurs, and one of the nation’s experts on church finances, capital campaigns and stewardship in general.

My only problem yesterday was trying to make sure I took good notes (and making sure I didn’t run out of notebook space)!

Steve has been a tremendous help to me and The Journey since the early days, and he’s partnered with Church Leader Insights on a number of practical resources, including:


Lead Your Own Capital Campaign Kit (DVD Set)	Improve the Financial Fitness of Your Church Seminar (3 CD Set)	Money Matters in Church (Downloadable Audio)

One of the powerful stewardship ideas I wrote in my notebook yesterday was to ask your church members to re-commit to the commitments of membership on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, their giving commitment for the year).

Steve gave me permission to share one of the free downloads that webinar participants received yesterday – the actual commitment card that they use at Lake Pointe. Here it is, for your downloading pleasure:

P.S. If you’re even considering a Capital Campaign in your church, perhaps the best investment you can make is to order a copy of Steve’s Lead Your Own Capital Campaign DVD Set – Click here for more details.
