What is Stewardship? |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Stewardship is about making choices, as individuals and in community. It is more than giving money to the church. Stewardship is about being faithful disciples, caring for and managing all that God has given us.
Stewardship is not just one part of Christian discipleship; it involves every aspect of life in all the stages of life. |

Stewardship is the grateful response to God's grace and goodness. It requires a consideration of how our choices affect us and others, of how we can be good caretakers of the created world, and of how we can best serve God as disciples of Christ. |

Selecting a Stewardship Theme |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The Stewardship team of the General Assembly Council has prepared theme resources for the use of congregations. Many congregations have chosen to use one of these themes.
Choosing a theme can be very important for providing focus for a year-round program of education, interpretation and commitment. Each congregation’s stewardship committee or session should weigh the pros and cons of various themes to choose the one that fits their situation at the present time. [Read more] |
