What is the Stewardship
Council?
The Stewardship Council is the name we have for our stewardship vision and
program. Stewardship is the name the church gives to the attitude of
generous discipleship called forth by our Gospel. It refers to the
counter-cultural notion that as Christians, we are grafted onto the very
Body of Christ and with that, the very mission of Christ to spread the
Good News, to reach out to the lost and forgotten, and to serve the
world. |

Stewardship of Treasure
The Sunday Offering and other monetary contributions to the Church are
referred to as Tithing. The whole belief that underlies Tithing is that God is
the Giver of every gift we have in life--our life itself, our faith in Him, our
family and friends and loved ones, our health, our jobs, our personalities, the
different gifts and talents that each one of us have--all of these are God's
gifts to us. Tithing is About Giving God the First Fruits.
