Stewardship

Overview

Did you know?

• God has given us over 2,350 verses in the Bible that deal with money and possessions.
• God owns everything. "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein" (Psalm 24:1).
• We are to be faithful managers of all that God has entrusted to us. "Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy" (1 Corinthians 4:2).
• We can invite God to take control of our finances. "Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.  Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all" (1 Chronicles 29:11-12).
• Faithfulness with money requires self-control, which is provided by God. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23).

Through finance seminars, small group studies and one-on-one coaching, we teach God's people His principles on how to handle the resources that He has provided.

Purpose
Our purpose is all about teaching and encouraging people to have a more intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Luke 16:11 expresses a direct correlation between how we handle our resources (our time, talents and treasure) and the quality of our relationship with Christ: “If therefore you have not been faithful in the use of worldly wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?”

Mission
Our mission is to challenge people to give Jesus Christ lordship over their money, their time and their talents. Matthew 6:24 tells us that “No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."  God has a plan for each of us. It is our responsibility to study His Word, to understand His principles and to apply them to our finances, our time and our gifts. Join us as we invite the Lord to change our worldly view into Godly principles so that He may bless us. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" (Matthew 6:33).

Vision
Our vision is for God's people to be freed from the burden of finances, for God’s kingdom to be furthered through the joyous and generous giving of His people, and for His people to serve Him with our time and gifts in the church, workplace and home.

Values
Our values are summed up in 1 Corinthians 4:2, which says, "Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy."'
