Jeff Davis - Church and Changer -
Will Change Your Church,
And Charge Plenty For It



Jeff Davis charges a huge fee for telling WELS churches how to borrow a fortune to build an imposing edifice, to sooth the ego of the pastor and distract people from insignificant issues like sound doctrine. That is not stewardship. It is anti-stewardship.
The C and C network is handy for obtaining those fees.


Well, smack my bottom and call me George. I found a bundle of information about Church and Chicanery leader Jeff Davis, who has NO BIO on the Church and Change website - just like Ski. But Ski has no picture there either. Now that is stealth!

Here is Jeff's business:

Cornerstone Stewardship Ministry.

Team members are WELS and Missouri, maybe ELCA - hard to tell. But one is Ron Roth, the first WELS Love Shack member to be openly Church Growth.


Ron Roth, first editor of TELL, begun to promote the Church Growth Movement,
which Wayne Mueller said was never in WELS.

107 CREATING A CULTURE OF GENEROSITY IN YOUR CHURCH

Jeffrey Davis (jeff@joyfulgiving.net) What is a generous church? How do we teach God’s people to excel in the grace of giving? When a congregation is transformed by Jesus’ message that “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35), what does it look like? Preaching and teaching about money is not something we should ignore. Jesus, on numerous occasions, addressed the issue of money and possessions. He knew that God’s people throughout the ages would face challenges and temptations of wealth. The formula for creating a culture of generosity is very simple – through God’s Word preach it, teach it, and celebrate it! This workshop will share ideas and give examples for churches intent on creating cultures marked by strong financial stewardship and biblically guided generosity. Jeff’s ideas for God’s leaders on creating cultures of generosity within Lutheran congregations will be helpful and biblically based.Jeffrey Davis has served the Lutheran church as teacher, administrator and presently, as consultant. He is owner of Cornerstone Stewardship Ministry, a consulting firm that teaches stewardship.108 A POSITIVE VIEW OF BELIEVERFS (sic) IS REALISTIC…AND PRACTICAL!
