STEWARDSHIP

As disciples of our Church, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbors.

​

How we respond to God's call is by being faithful stewards of the gifts God has so abundantly given to us. Some may think of stewardship only as a financial response to God's love, but it encompasses so much more than money. It's about how we use all that God has entrusted to our care - our time, our talents, and our treasures - to love God and our neighbors, both inside and outside of the church walls and our homes. It's also about how we serve as stewards of the creation (our world) that God has entrusted to our care.

"Stewardship is a matter of the heart. My stewardship practices are a response to the boundless love God first showed me. It means that I am grateful for all that God has generously entrusted to me. As a faithful steward and child of God, I understand that (the) decisions I make, in all aspects of my life, reveal my priorities. It is a privilege to share time, talents, and finances, to care for God's earth and to serve my neighbors. Being a good steward has brought me great joy and has helpd me grow spiritually. I am blessed to be a blessing."  ~  Kathy Fiscus, Faith and Finances Ministry Team Chair, Minneapolis, MN
