Christian Stewardship

What is Stewardship?

Christian Stewardship is not a programme, it’s not about raising money and not here today and gone tomorrow.

Christian Stewardship is a journey. It is about life, in fact Stewardship is a way of life.

It is a way of life in which we regard ourselves and our possessions as a trust from God to be used in His Service. This means that we are stewards or managers of everything God has given to us: our time, our abilities, our possessions, our money, our whole lives.

Christian Stewardship is not about making ends meet but about looking to a growing, expanding church. It is not about giving only what is needed but about giving so generously that our giving has a touch of recklessness about it for “God loves a Cheerful giver” ( 2 Corinthians 9 v 7). That is the attitude of God’s giving to us and that is the message for our churches.

This section of the website contains all you will require to run a successful Christian Stewardship programme.
