The Stewardship Crisis – Combating Decreased Tithes and Offerings (church giving)
In a country in the midst of an economic downturn and where people are living paycheck to paycheck, too often church tithes and offerings disappear from the priority list. Church tithes and offerings are the lifeline of the church. Without consistent Godly stewardship the church will struggle. Minister Ephren Taylor, the CEO of City Capital personally witnesses to members of the Body of Christ on how tithing helped him increase his millions to multiple millions and live a more fulfilled life..

Imagine your congregation members knowing that their tithes and offerings are helping to establish Kingdom principled wealth.

Is There a Stewardship Solution?

City Capital can deliver strategic guidance to churches seeking to increase their capacity in the areas of economic development. By identifying fundraising opportunities that will help churches generate additional income beyond tithes and church offerings, City Capital will lead your church through a process to acquire income producing businesses.  These business opportunities will provide additional resources for church stewardship and create jobs.  Once the businesses are established, Ephren Taylor’s team will remain engaged by assisting with managing each entity.  

		"Providing the tools to equip your ministry through stewardship by increased tithes, offerings, and economic empowerment" “You can always make more money, but changing a person’s life, that’s priceless” – Ephren Taylor

FUNDRAISING/ STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN
City Capital offers a unique church stewardship seminar that focuses on Christian conscious investing by using “The Celerity Plan”.  The plan is a self directed Individual Retirement Account (IRA) model that is used as the vehicle to increase wealth and financial capacity.  This model has a dual benefit allowing the congregants to increase their personal wealth and their capacity to pay tithes and offerings.  City Capital was established on the belief that cooperative economics is the cornerstone for building strong communities. Congregants are expected to give tithes and offering off of a percentage of their proceeds from the plan.

OUR COMMITMENT
City Capital guarantees that each investment is values driven, is consistent with Christian principles, and based on cooperative economic advancement.  Our success to date is marked by the fact that clients consistently receive at least a minimum of 10% annual return on investment. 

BENEFITS
In addition to lending his brand, expertise, and relational capacity to ensure that each partner is successful, Ephren Taylor will also assist your ministry in the following ways:
1.Empowering youth, by supporting or developing a youth entrepreneurship program, including lessons on stewardship.  To help churches raise a generation that understands the importance of tithes and offerings.
2. Promoting entrepreneurship and self-sufficiency among all congregants, which in turn will increase church stewardship.  Successful entrepreneurs will pay their tithes and offering to the church that helped them succeed.

3. Lastly, providing keys to socially conscious investing.

Deuteronomy 14: 22-23

Be sure to set apart a tenth of everything your fields produce each year. Here are the things you should eat in the sight of the Lord your God. You should eat a tenth part of your grain, olive oil and fresh wine. You should also eat the male animals among your livestock that were born first to their mothers. Eat all of those things at the special place the Lord your God will choose. He will put his Name there. You will learn to have respect for him always.
