Time, Talent, & Treasure
Stewardship is based on the spiritual principles of the
Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus. It is a way of thanking God for all
His gifts, cherishing and tending them in a responsible and accountable manner,
sharing them in justice and love with others, and returning them with increase
to the Lord. Please consider making a commitment to
stewardship of time, talent and treasure a part of our lifestyle.
