What is the focus of your Ministry?

Empowering Stewardship is a primary resource to help church leaders successfully navigate the complexities of church finance and administration. The goal is to connect church leaders with the resources and tools necessary to ensure they faithfully steward the people and finances entrusted to them.

Tell us about your history

Empowering Stewardship has been created in connection with the Lilly Endowment, Inc of Indianapolis Indiana. Since 2016, the Lilly Endowment has graciously provided a $2 million grant to the Assemblies of God to further their program called the National Initiative to Address Economic Challenges Facing Pastoral Leaders.

How can Empowering Stewardship benefit our Nebraska Ministers and Churches?

Empowering Stewardship will provide tools to help alleviate the economic and financial challenges that plague many of our AG pastors. We want to connect pastors with resources to enhance their financial literacy and management skills and create a ministerial excellence fund to help alleviate, through direct financial assistance, the financial challenges that AG pastoral leaders face.

Realm  – Church Database Management 

As most of you know, the Nebraska Ministry Network uses Realm for our database management, contributions, communications, and accounting. But did you know that ACS, the maker of Realm, has more church users than any other church database management company in the world? As such, they offer solutions for all sizes and types of churches. If you’re looking for a great solution for church management from a great company, we encourage you to consider realm and ACS. We’ve included a couple of flyers in this Update that tell you a little bit more about what they have to offer.

Generations in Baptism – Steve Mallery

Sunday January 30th I was able to celebrate a first in my 12 years of ministry in Crawford, Nebraska. We had a Baptism service and I was privileged not only to baptize my oldest son, but also 3 generations in another family. It was remarkable to baptize a kid, his dad, and his grandfather all in the same service.

William’s Aunt Terrie has been attending the church since before I began to pastor in 2009. Terrie has some mental limitations but from the time her nephews were able to attend children’s church she brought them with her. After several years of the kids attending church, Grandma and Grandpa finally decided to come to a Christmas program and never stopped coming.

Shortly after Grandma and Grandpa, William’s dad started coming to church as well. All have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and we were able to celebrate joyously as a church family as they publicly confessed Jesus Christ in baptism. Praise God!

God is on the move in Christ Community Church – Thank you Pastor Steve!
