Christian Stewardship

Mr Gordon Randall, Stewardship Adviser
Tel: 01962 737323
Email: gordon.randall@winchester.anglican.org

Gordon has been Stewardship Adviser for the diocese since 2000. His passion is encouraging those who follow Jesus to recognise, that in the managing of our resources (principally our time, talents and money), we are really being asked to look after what God has entrusted to us. He sees this stewarding of God's resources as an outworking of our discipleship that helps us grow in our faith and extend God's Kingdom.

Gordon offers advice, support, training and practical hands on help to parishes in the following areas:

• Facilitating parishes seeking to embrace and encourage their stewardship of time, talents and money.  Using exciting initiatives such as Giving in Grace, Giving for Life, TRIO, The Money Revolution, The Stewardship Toolkit for Rural Churches, etc, and/or helping a parish to develop an approach that fits specifically with their circumstances.
• Training and on-going support for Parish Stewardship Promoters.
• Facilitating parish 'Vision Days' as a mechanism for helping parishes better discern God's way forward for them and as a means of releasing resources for growth.
