Stewardship
What we believe
Everything belongs to God, who entrusts us with time, opportunities, abilities, possessions and the earth’s resources. We acknowledge His ownership through faithful service, responsible care, returning tithe and giving offerings for the gospel and church. Stewardship is a privilege that grows love, overcomes selfishness and brings blessing to others.
Faithfulness concerns the whole life, not money alone.
