Stewardship Council

 

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.
