Stewardship
Mission
To spread the love of the living presence of God by strengthening our congregation’s relationships with Christ and our Church through their gifts of time, prayer, and generosity.
We believe that God is the owner of everything we have. He has lovingly entrusted us with resources, but as they ultimately belong to Him, we have the obligation to manage these gifts responsibly and in ways that support His ministry.
The mission of the Glory Stewardship Committee is to provide servant leadership in encouraging and empowering the congregation and each congregant to consider their time, talents and treasures; to contribute these gifts to the best of their abilities and as led by God.
