Stewardship
What is Stewardship? Click here for the Scrips page. Current Finances (2011)
    In the biblical sense, stewardship is the belief that God is the true and ultimate owner of each person's possessions, and that one is accountable to God for the acceptable care and use of those possessions.

    As Christians, each one of us is responsible for ensuring that all of God's creations are well cared for and used for the betterment of all. This includes His children, His house of worship, and His blessings.

    

"According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ."

1 Corinthians 3:10-11.

 "Financial stewardship is not only a
matter of faithful giving but of faithful living. In response to the gospel, we submit our lives to the rule of God, to the lordship of Christ, and to the direction of the Holy Spirit, so that we may be the people God wants us to be and have
the lives God wants us to have."
