Stewardship at bethany
Why is stewardship so important in a church?
As we grow in our relationship with God to develop stewardship, we experience substantial growth in ourselves. Giving is a spiritual sacrifice and an expression of love and gratitude, because everything we have comes from God. No matter what we give to God, what is left will always sustain us better than if we hadn’t given at all. God does not ask us to give because he needs our resources. Rather, He challenges us to make Him the focus of our lives instead of our money and possessions.

Good stewardship is important from both a financial and spiritual aspect. The purpose of the Stewardship Ministry is to develop our biblical stewardship with respect to our time, talent, and treasure.
