Christian Stewardship 

The Revd 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.

Help and services available to parishes

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.
• Preaching and teaching Christian Stewardship particularly in relation to giving.
• Help and advice for parishes wishing to encourage members of their church family to write or review their will and also consider leaving a gift in their will to their church.
• Presentations and talks on Christian Stewardship that offer interaction and discussion with opportunities for people to reflect upon this aspect of their discipleship.
• Help and advice in relation to the promotion of Gift Aid.
• Help and advice for parishes wishing to engage in some form of capital fundraising project.
