Christian Stewardship is the free and joyous activity of the child of God, and God's family, the church, in managing all of life and life's resources for God's purposes. Learn more . . .
Stewardship Task Force Members:
The mission of the Stewardship Task Force is to promote Biblical Stewardship by educating, encouraging, and informing the congregations' lay leaders, and equip them to lead their people to joyfully use all of God's blessings in ways that honor Him.
By the power of God's Spirit who works through the Gospel, we seek to bring God's people to full spiritual maturity when it comes to how they handle the blessings of this life. That is a never ending task that can be enhanced by well written, grace oriented materials. You will find a wide variety of resources here:
