A Culture of Generosity for Your Church, School, or Organization.

Generis exists to help churches, schools and faith-based nonprofit organizations weave a culture of generosity into the very fabric of who they are. When there is a thriving culture of generosity, there is growth, mission advancement, and acceleration toward the vision God gave you. A culture of generosity is more than fundraising — it’s kingdom-minded stewardship.

Mission Advancement

Generis’ solutions help close the gap between your current resources and your God-inspired vision by guiding you through a process that results in a sustainable culture of generosity.

Decades of experience

When you work with a Generis Strategist, you are working with someone who has been in your shoes, felt the tension of your role, and has faced many of the same challenges as you have. The Generis team is composed of practitioners who have real-life experience working in churches, faith-based non-profit organizations, and Christian schools. We’ve been there, done that, and now are here on the other side ready to guide leaders like you.

Our principles are biblically rooted, our strategies are consistent and proven, and we always deploy them in alignment with the culture and DNA of your organization. We provide one-on-one support for creating and implementing a culture of generosity, and we work closely with your team to ensure that what we create together honors the identity of your church or organization.

Make It Last

We are culture-changers. Our goal is to weave discipleship-driven generosity and stewardship into the very fabric of your church or organization’s culture.
We apply “make it last” mindset to everything we do so that what we accomplish together will outlive the length of any single campaign, project, or initiative.

Culture of Generosity

Generosity is a reflection of the heart. It flows from an understanding that all we have, are, or will ever become is not ours to possess but is ultimately owned by God. And when we fully embrace this understanding that everything is a gift, it results in us sharing with others what God has given us for the advancement of the Kingdom and the glory of God.

At Generis, we believe the biblical understanding of stewardship and generosity can transform culture, transform hearts and make those God-inspired visions a reality. We’ve seen it happen in churches, schools, and organizations around the world. We want to see it happen for you.

Budgets & Tithing

Are the people in your church struggling in their giving journeys? Would you even know it if they were?

Biblical stewardship and generosity is a journey that goes beyond the tithe and church budget. However, too often, we see local church leaders unintentionally limit their kingdom reach because their vision is tied to budgetary goals.

In this resource, we unpack the perspectives and vocabulary that might be limiting the spiritual growth of the people in your church and what it means to steward the resources that God has given His people.

What Leaders Are Saying...

"Generis knows how to cultivate a culture of generosity in churches. That culture continues to grow in my church! Thanks Generis!"
Pastor Dale DeNealSecond Church
“We are so grateful at Mount Pisgah Christian School to have Generis walking beside us as we develop our development goals and execution strategy. The level of professionalism and mission alignment that we see with the Generis team is second to none. They are comfortable both interacting with detailed execution tactics with our internal development team and presenting and listening to the strategic goals of the Board. They are helping us to plant the seeds that will grow into trees for His kingdom.”
Joseph M. Gaynor, Jr., Board ChairMount Pisgah Christian School
Generis prepared our Leadership Team with great energy and encouragement, as well as clear ideas, during our recent capital campaign...I might add that with your help we exceeded our campaign goals and more than doubled what our Diocese of Owensboro imagined we could raise. The parish of St. Joseph in Bowling Green has been through many campaigns in the last few decades and many of our parishioners doubted whether this one would be any different. I might go so far as to say that our parishioners had lost some faith in the capital campaign process. So, again, thanks for your hard work, your constant presence with us, and the leadership you provided to our church...the campaign you and Generis led has been the most successful campaign in our parish's memory.
Fr. Ryan Harpole, PastorSt. Joseph Catholic Church, Bowling Green, KY
“Generis helped engage our congregation in a healthy discussion about generosity that transformed our community’s trajectory.“
Pastor Jim GumJacob’s Well Church
"Generis has provided the best campaign wisdom, support, expertise, and follow through of any firm I have worked with throughout several campaigns. They customized a campaign unique to our needs and have been with us every step of the way. They have provided both high level strategy support and detailed support down to the sentence in our communications to donors. I would use them again tomorrow if needed."
Cade Lambert, SuperintendentDes Moines Christian School
“The team at Generis has been a tremendous partner for us at Gordon College. We could not be more pleased with the strategic counsel and insight they have provided.”
D. Michael Lindsay, PresidentGordon College
“Lighthouse has had the privilege of working with Generis on two separate occasions. Both times were inspiring and worthwhile. They were sensitive to our budget and time constraints. They provided practical ideas for us to implement, and also assisted us in developing God-honoring longer-term goals for our ministry. We also experienced our highest income to date!”
Debbie Provincer, Executive DirectorLighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center
“Our experience with Generis has exceeded all expectations. Our guide has consistently brought top level expertise, yet has met us at every step with humility and generosity of spirit. He entered the Westminster Theological Seminary community as a counselor. He has become a confidant and friend.”
David B. Garner, Vice President of AdvancementWestminster Theological Seminary
“Generis began where great consultants do; they asked probing questions and then they listened … carefully! And then…boom!! They provided insights and recommendations that pointed us clearly to a preferred future. Better than we could have imagined.”
Dr. Craig Sider, CEONew York City Leadership Center
“It’s amazing how an outside set of eyes and ears can change the way you look at your own organization. [Generis’] competence moves forward into a profoundly detailed execution to grow an organization from infancy to maturity.“
Rhome van DyckSacra Script Ministries
“I can state unequivocally that our institution is in a better financial and strategic position as a result of the excellent professional consultation of Generis. I strongly recommend them to colleagues and any organization that seeks development, advancement and financial consultation.“

“Generis brought a wise and needed outside perspective to our development planning.”
Dr. Chip RoperThe New York City Leadership Center
“I can’t begin to explain the impact that the Generis team and process provided for Southeastern. It was an impetus for our leadership to clarify vision, mission, and strategy. We now have an attainable campaign with reasonable projects, that our board and donor base are very excited about. I am so thankful for your work.”
Jonathan Six, Vice President of DevelopmentInterim Leadership
"We've been blessed by working with Generis on a capital campaign and multiple generosity initiatives. Seeing our members grow in generosity has been amazing year after year. Our consultant knows us, our culture, and does not provide a one-size-fits-all approach. It's been a great fit, and I look forward to a continued partnership."
Chris Campbell, Lead Pastor First Presbyterian Church Arlington
"No one could have foreseen the dramatic emergence of the recent Pandemic, just as we were preparing to launch our Campaign. Yet, you guided us through the heart of the "lock down" and mentored our leadership committee to keep on with the mission. Because of your dedication, encouragement, technical counsel, and faith-filled commitment to our purposes so that a successful completion of the campaign, on schedule and over goal, was assured. We are very grateful for your service!"
C. Dennis Rigg, Chair, Campaign Planning CommitteeEpiphany Catholic Church, Louisville, KY
