Helping you understand the principles and practice of Christian Stewardship

Giving has always been a mark of Christian commitment and discipleship. The ways in which a believer uses God's gifts of material goods, personal abilities, and time should reflect a faithful response to God's self-giving in Jesus Christ and Christ's call to minister to and share with others in the world.

Christian stewardship is not just about money and balancing accounts. It is something that has a biblical and spiritual foundation. The Bible, and particularly the New Testament, has a lot to tell us about how to apply Christian principles to this - as to other aspects of our lives. This section describes the subject in easy-to-grasp terms, and provides straightforward ways of helping parish congregations to understand and act upon these principles.

The Stewardship Prayer

Almighty God our Father,
we belong to you.
All that we have comes from you,

Our family and friends,
Our health,
Our possessions and energy,
Our leisure and abilities.

Help us to share
in the blessings of giving
as well as the
happiness of receiving.

We ask this in the name of Jesus.
Amen
