Christian stewardship is a relational issue. It begins with God's love. It affirms God's ownership of our possessions, which are really a trust from God. It celebrates God's partnership with us, and it grows on God's hope.

In relation to finances, stewardship has as much to do with how church members earn and give their gifts, as with how the church uses it funds after they are placed in the offering plate. By our stewardship we mean much more than just our money. We also mean to encompass the whole of life, one's gifts, time, etc. Stewardship becomes a way of life lived in response to what God has shown us.
