Stewardship CommissionFaithful stewardship involves giving of our time, talent and treasure in thanksgiving to God and for the mission and ministry of the church.
|
We are invited to respond to God’s abundance by being joyful stewards of all God has given to each of us to do the work that God is calling all of us to do. Stewardship is an invitation to joy, not merely a duty or an obligation. It is an expression of our love affair with God in which we are privileged to give to the Beloved who has given all to us. At the heart of it is the Biblical teaching of the tithe, given to us as a minimum guide for our financial giving to God. This is not a legalistic standard. Tithing is a transformational act of stewardship, which changes our hearts, freeing us to be generous and cheerful givers. It empowers the church to be a community of faith and mission. Finally, stewardship is a bold commitment to the call of Christ to “build my church.” All of our giving is for mission and ministry. It is through the generous stewardship of each of us that the Body of Christ is equipped to do the work of the Gospel in the world.
