"Give, and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you." Luke 6:38
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 to the church in His name.
Simply stated, Stewardship is living out Christ’s instruction to “love one another as I have loved you.”
More fully defined, 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 Begins with a belief in God, and acknowledging that everything we are and everything we have is a result of God’s generosity and love towards us. Feeling His love and presence fills us with a desire to do something for Him, to please him in gratitude for everything we have received.
