Division on Stewardship
What IS Stewarship?
Stewardship is ‘putting the Christian faith into practice.’ It gives us the opportunity to put actions behind our words. Christian stewardship is the opportunity to manage our lives in such a manner that we are able to give of ourselves and our resources to help promote and advance the cause of Christ. People who are good stewards with God’s resources bring blessings to others and to their relationship with God. A good steward gives us his or her time, talents, and financial resources in this vein.
Grants Offered
Local Church Stewardship Grants [more information]
Churches apply for this grant of up to $350 to assist in stewardship education, or the annual pledge campaign. Forms are available at Annual Conference, and also through the mail beginning in July of each year. Application deadline is September 1, 2003.
We Need Your Help!!!
The Division of Stewardship is in need of members to serve in this capacity. We meet approximately three times a year as a division and once a year as part of the full Board of Discipleship.
