Stewardship Ministry

Stewardship starts with one’s relationship to God. The good steward is one whose actions are in alignment with God (the Creator and “owner” of all that the steward manages). 

The Stewardship Ministry is concerned with the responsibility and privilege of helping each person within the congregation develop into a more faithful and effective Christian steward in the church, and wider community of God’s world.

 

We are all stewards of God’s Kingdom. We are stewards all the time. It is not an option. The setting for us to live as stewards is our daily lives in this real world. Stewardship is “in the world”. It is our response to what God has done and is doing, as well as our response to what we anticipate God will do in this world.

 

We are all stewards of God’s household, which first is the whole creation, not just money. There are ecological, economic, and geopolitical implications to God’s call to be stewards of all that God has created. What we do through our congregation is in the context of the divine reign over all creation, which Jesus described as “The Kingdom of God.”
