Carol plans and produces the materials for three denomination-wide offering emphases each year, and she creates and distributes the Stewardship Resources Packet to congregations each summer. She works closely with Congregational Life Ministries staff to produce and collect quality materials for loan to congregations, and holds insight sessions related to stewardship and developing stewards at Annual Conference. She leads wonderfully creative workshops and retreats when invited with enough lead time.

Lillian is the pleasant voice on the phone when you call the stewardship or giving office at our (800) 323-8039 ext. 234 number. She makes sure your questions are answered by the right person, makes sure your gifts are processed correctly and applies them to the fund or purpose you have noted. She will even call you if she is unclear what exactly you have intended with your gift.

Doug is always available to answer your questions and help you do special things with your special resources. Whether you want to donate a collection, give appreciated stocks and securities to preserve their value (protect against capital gains taxes), make a one-time monetary gift to General Board ministries, or discuss how to nurture more ministries from your gift dollar, Doug can help you make it happen. Invite him to dream with you.

Ray leverages his 15 years of planned giving work for the General Board in his new work recruiting and supervising volunteer visitors. This small number of volunteers is out visiting donors to thank them for their gifts, listen to their stories, and answer their questions about the ministries of the GB and how to better support them. Ray will also come to visit you whenever you need counsel regarding completing a will, charitable gift annuity, trust agreement, or other planned gift.
