Stewardship and Ways to Give



The More we have the more we can multiply our gifts and share them with others. To be a great steward means to be thoughtful. A gift of stewardship comes from the heart and it needs to be intentional, planned and proportionate. With planned giving we initiate and renew a stewardship commitment. Are you willing to give more than what you have?

​
