Eight connected learning modules
Move from the history and purpose of money through banking, debt, protection, stewardship, business, retirement, and legacy.
A stewardship program for the whole church.
Give your congregation a shared language for money, responsibility, protection, business, retirement, and legacy, grounded in scripture and delivered with clear member safeguards.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
The Acts 6 Model
In Acts 6, the widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. The apostles would not leave the Word of God to serve tables. So the church sought out seven men, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, and appointed them over the work.
That is the Zoe church model.
Your pastors stay devoted to prayer and the ministry of the Word. We help you identify and form stewards, men and women of character and competence, who educate the congregation: first the body, then their families, then the community.
Financial needs deserve practical attention in our congregations. Families may be carrying debt, navigating uncertain income, or trying to understand how to protect those who depend on them. Stewardship education helps bring these responsibilities into the open and gives people a place to begin.
In Philadelphia, Presbyterian leaders organized lasting support for ministers and their families. The ministers fund started in 1717. Their work received a charter in 1759 and developed into the institution later known as the Presbyterian Ministers’ Fund, the oldest life insurance institution in America. Zoe sees a connection to Acts 6: recognize the need, appoint responsible people, and organize practical care.
Zoe’s church partnership follows the same order: educate first, serve the tables with wisdom, and never ask a pastor to leave the Word.
Age and life-stage pathways
Adapt the material for youth, families, business owners, elders, agents, and ministry leaders, with teaching centered on stewardship and participation guided by church leadership.
Education plus private reviews
Pair group teaching with private Zoe reviews for members who request personal help. A licensed agent can answer questions, explain documents, and help each person understand possible next steps. When another kind of expertise is needed, Zoe coordinates it only with that member’s permission.
A clear process, with no pressure.
- 1Align with church leadership on audience, priorities, and member safeguards.
- 2Host a leadership preview or one-day workshop.
- 3Launch a four-week pilot with optional private review days.
- 4Report participation and outcomes, then decide on the next cohort.
Bring your questions. Leave with greater clarity.
A Zoe review gives you space to talk through your goals, questions, and documents with a licensed agent. Together, you can understand what you already have, identify what still needs an answer, and choose a useful next step. If a tax, legal, or investment question needs another professional, Zoe can help coordinate that conversation with your permission.
