Stewardship is a complete lifestyle, a life of total accountability and responsibility acknowledging God as Creator and Owner of all. Stewards as disciples of Jesus Christ see themselves as caretakers of all God's gifts. Gratitude for these gifts is expressed in prayer, worship, offering and action by eagerly sharing these gifts out of love of God and one another.
Stewardship is based on the spiritual principles of the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus; and where it has been implemented, both givers' and receivers' lives have been changed. Stewardship is a way of life, a way of thanking God for all His blessings by returning a portion of the time, talent and treasure allotted to us.
Stewardship is living out Christ's instruction to "love one another as I have loved you".
Stewardship is caring. Stewardship is responsible management of our God-given resources of time, talent and treasure. It enhances our relationship with God and one another.
Stewardship builds happy, healthy families. Stewardship renews Christ's Church.
Stewardship pleases God because the good steward is careful of creation, is respectful of justice and charity, and is prayerful at all times.
