Resource Ministry Basics
Every congregation has physical resources: buildings, property and money. The faith challenge is always to use resources for mission and not only for maintenance. The purpose of resources is to support ministry.
Parish Stewardship Statement
God offers us a life of abundance,
and calls us to celebrate our lives and unique capabilities as gifts.
We believe that God wants us to use these gifts,
not only for ourselves, but for all Creation.
In a world broken by unshared bread,
God invites us to a table with room enough and bread enough for all.
We accept God’s invitation,
and we bring with joy our gifts to God’s table.
Proportionate Giving
We give to God a percentage of our income to support the ministry of Christ through our parish, remembering that the 10% tithe is the Biblical norm, and working towards that goal.
