Lakeside Chautauqua is hosting a three-day stewardship and financial wellness conference this August, sponsored in part by the United Methodist Foundation of West Ohio and the Methodist Foundation of Ohio.
The event hosts expect both clergy and laity, regardless of experience in stewardship, to deepen their understanding of faithful stewardship as a result of attending. The conference schedule includes workshops and presentations from experienced voices, including the Executive Directors of both Ohio foundations, to explore how generosity, sustainability, and mission can thrive together.
Attendees can take advantage of all Lakeside has to offer during their stay. Each summer, the community hosts more than 3,000 programs and activities, including concerts, special events, educational lectures and everyday opportunities for leisure, such as swimming, biking and enjoying Lake Erie.
Keynote Presenter: Rev. Dr. Stan Copeland is the head of “Church Difference Makers” and a former 27-year Senior Pastor of Lovers Lane United Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas, one of the most prominent congregations in the denomination. While Copeland has impressive credentials (his church raised $55 million in 5 capital campaigns and he grew the endowment from $2.2 to $30 million), he is a very down-to-earth guy. The principles he lives by apply to congregations and ministries of all sizes. Copeland will lead a dialogue about “The Stewardship Streams to Generosity.”
Registration: Registration for the Stewardship & Financial Wellness Conference is includes two overnights, five meals, and conference registration for $445. If your spouse or partner is visiting during the conference, you can purchase the meals and admission to Lakeside for $195.
