Select a Response Method

How do you decide which stewardship method or program to use for the annual congregational response program? Often the decision is formed by delaying a decision rather than by planning. Put yourself in a proactive planning position rather than falling into a reactive mode.

 

10 Stewardship Principles

As baptized members of the body of Christ, we gratefully confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We boldly proclaim the gospel as the Word of God. We clearly recognize the gifts that God has first given us through grace, and w joyfully accept our role and responsibility as stewards. These ten principles provide a foundation for the life of a faithful and generous steward.
