As church leaders, we’re not just called to shepherd our people spiritually—we’re called to care for every aspect of their lives, including their financial health. In today’s economic climate, many families in your congregation are facing financial pressure, living paycheck to paycheck, and struggling to plan for the future. The good news? You can make a tangible difference.

At INJOY Stewardship Solutions, we believe that financial discipleship is part of spiritual discipleship. When your people experience financial freedom, they’re more equipped to live generously and fully engage in God’s calling on their lives.

Here are 5 practical ways you can help your congregation move toward financial stability—plus a free checklist you can use to start making progress right away.

1. Talk About Money Openly and Regularly

Finances are often a taboo topic in the church—but they don’t have to be. Jesus talked about money more than almost any other subject. When you normalize conversations around money, budgeting, debt, and generosity, you create a culture of honesty and growth. Use sermons, small groups, and workshops to keep the conversation going.

2. Offer Practical Tools and Resources

Sometimes, people want to make changes—they just don’t know where to start. Give them accessible resources that walk them through the basics of budgeting, saving, and giving. We created a free downloadable checklist to help you do just that:

3. Provide Financial Coaching or Classes

Whether through a partnership with a local financial advisor or a volunteer-led program at your church, offering financial education classes can be a game-changer. Teach principles like how to get out of debt, build emergency savings, and plan for retirement—all from a biblical perspective.

4. Share Stories of Transformation

One of the most powerful ways to inspire financial change is to share testimonies of others in your church who’ve experienced it. Celebrate the wins—big or small—and use them to encourage others that stability is possible, no matter where they’re starting.

5. Model Good Stewardship as a Church

People watch how you lead. If your church models wise budgeting, transparent financial reporting, and generous giving, your congregation will follow your example. Stewardship isn’t just taught—it’s caught.
