The Visible Presence of Christ
Financial Stewardship Ministries

We believe our personal approach to stewardship is an indication of what Christ really means to us. Stewardship is a part of our everyday lifestyle. How we manage our personal finances reflects what is important to us and what we really value in life (Matthew 6:21). God wants us to know our financial status and have control over our cash flow (Proverbs 27:23-27). The responsibility for support of the local church belongs to its members (1 Corinthians 16:2).

Some scriptural guidelines for giving to the local church include:

Proportionately (1 Corinthians 16:2)
Firstly (Proverbs 3:9)
Regularly (1 Corinthians 16:2)
Willingly ( 2 Corinthians 9:7)
Cheerfully ( 2 Corinthians 9:7)
Wisely (Ephesians 5:15)

After you have given to the local church, the leaders (elders) are responsible for distribution of the finances and caring for the needs and ministries of the church. (Acts 4:35)

Tithes and offerings are one way to express worship to the Lord. Once a month in our corporate worship services, an offering is taken. For all other giving, Offering boxes are available in the foyer for your personal worship and convenience.

The Financial Stewardship Commission seeks to help church families and the surrounding community develop good stewardship skills through an educational ministry, currently the Dave Ramsey curriculum Financial Peace University. The 13 week course is offered at least once a year.
