You are Here, But Where is Your Heart?” was this year’s theme for the Generous Living Summit held February 24, 2018. Folks in the Columbia area stepped out of the chaos of life and gathered at the Columbia First Church. The summit featured Del Johnson, lifestyle and finance coach, along with Naomi Stiemer, recording artist. In addition, there were young adults delivering short, powerful tips and testimonies on how to live more abundantly.

Since its inception in 2012, the Generous Living program has been a tremendous blessing for the church in Carolina. It has provided focused materials and programs for the financial needs of the church. All stewardship materials are branded with the theme of Generous Living. The success of the program is based on a focused, well thought-out-plan. However, perhaps the most important reason for its success is that each and every Monday morning The Generous Living team meets to begin the week with a season of prayer for God to lead in the financial matters of the Conference. It’s recognized that when all unite their efforts with God’s wisdom and blessings, amazing things can happen to grow God’s Kingdom.
