Overview

What is Stewardship? 

• Stewardship is a faithful response to God’s gifts and God’s mission by generously giving our time and energy, gifts and skills, witness and compassion as well as our financial resources.
• It is a commitment to share our common life in Christ.
• It means that we embody the gospel in acts of service, and to work for justice, peace, and the dignity of all persons.
• Stewardship is not just the challenge of servicing our own existence, programs, and practices.
