When we Bless God with Our Money, He Blesses Us with the Things Money Can't Buy
Orthodox Christian Stewardship is a way of life, which acknowldeges accountabiity, reverence, and responsibility before God. Becomming a Steward begins when we believe in God, to whom we give our love, loyalty and trust and act on those beliefs. As Stewards, we affirm that every aspect of our lives comes as a gift from Him.
Stewardship calls on the faithful to cheerfully offer back to God a portion of the gifts with which they have been blessed.
Every time we make an offering to God - big or small - He honors our sacrifice. We give mercifully so that the money is transfigured for a more glorious purpose. We give generously because it is transformative for the soul.
