What is Stewardship?

  • “Where your treasure is, there your heart will

be also.” Matthew 6:21

  • Stewardship is the church’s theological

antidote to the chief idols of our age; consumerism, materialism, and acquisition.

  • Stewardship is about the joyous discipline of

thanking God with the way we live our lives and spend and share our money.

things to learn from effective fundraising principles)

as a church)
