Equipping people to become Steward Leaders in our homes and congregations, as a response to a generous and loving God who showers us with abundant grace and forgiveness in Jesus.
The Stewardship Team seeks to glorify God by assisting individuals and congregations to identify, develop, and use their resources to further the kingdom of God on earth.
It achieves this by communicating how the mission dollars are spent through the annual narrative budget, letting congregations know of up coming stewardship events across the country, and providing educational opportunities for congregations to learn more what it means to be good stewards of what God has first given to us.
