1. Spiritual Purpose

A Stewardship Campaign is designed to:

Create awareness

Disseminate information

Encourage fellowship

Build relationships

Cultivate prayer

Enlist ownership & commitment

Prayer and the discovery of God's will in giving will be the major issues. Our sole aim is to Build Stewardship into a Lifestyle of Discipleship. This effort is not an attempt to pressure or coerce. It is the recognition that the spiritual goals of prayer and sacrifice are more critical than the financial goals.

2. Financial Purpose

The financial purpose is a journey, voluntarily taken, to discover through prayer and faith what financial gift God would have each of us contribute to the capital development needs of the church over the next 36 months.
