We are God's stewards, entrusted by Him with time and opportunities, abilities and possessions, and the blessings of the earth and its resources. We are responsible to Him for their proper use. We acknowledge God's ownership by faithful service to Him and our fellow human beings, and by returning tithe and giving offerings for the proclamation of His gospel and the support and growth of His church. Stewardship is a privilege given to us by God for nurture in love and the victory over selfishness and covetousness. Stewards rejoice in the blessings that come to others as a result of their faithfulness. (Gen. 1:26-28; 2:15; 1 Chron. 29:14; Haggai 1:3-11; Mal. 3:8-12; Matt. 23:23; Rom. 15:26, 27; 1 Cor. 9:9-14; 2 Cor. 8:1-15; 9:7.)

The biblical model is about the state of our hearts. It is about what motivates us, and it is about our relationship with God. Gradually the message that stewardship begins at the cross and not in our pockets has been accepted, and it has changed the lives of many individuals. In a society in which performance is the way to success, the example of the two mites of the widow (Luke 21:1-4) reminds us that it is not the amount of the offering that counts; it is the state of the heart

The Stewardship Department exists with the purpose of aiding each believer to identify with biblical precision what his/her role in the process of establishment and furthering the kingdom of God. The kingdom of heaven is the greatest of all treasures and the Stewardship department serves to ensure that every believer knows his part and his/her eternal inheritance in that kingdom.
