Stewardship

 

"Using the gifts God has given us to do the work God is calling us to do."

Our Guiding Definition of Stewardship

Christian stewardship is grateful and responsible use of God's universe in the light of God's purpose as revealed in Jesus Christ. Christian stewards, empowered by the Holy Spirit, commit themselves to conscious, purposeful decisions.

Stewardship is lived out in:

  • living and telling the Good News;
  • sharing with God in seeking justice, peace, and the integrity of creation in an interdependent universe;
  • wisely employing God-given human resources, abilities, and relationships;
  • sharing the material resources we hold and giving them in service, justice, and compassion;
  • providing for future generations;
  • sharing in the life, worship, and responsible stewardship of the Church and of its mission.

Both for the individual and for the community, stewardship is a joyful act for the sake of God's world.

This definition comes from the Standing Rules of the Ecumenical Stewardship Center. The Episcopal Church is a founding member of this group and remains active in its continuing work. You can find out more about ESC at their website, www.stewardshipresources.org.
