Abstract

This project proposes to strengthen an urban Lutheran congregation internally and to expand its outreach to new groups in its neighborhood through a 10-session 'Stewardship as Christian Living' course for adult members. Basing the study on a biblically based Lutheran theology of baptism, congregational redevelopment theory, and the educational theories of Sara Little, the project generates enthusiasm among course participants, but evaluation shows no statistically significant changes in their attitudes compared to a control group. The course might be more effective in a less conflicted setting.
