What is Stewardship Ministry?

• Engaging every member in ministry (Our Core Value #2)
• helping individuals to discern and use their time, abilities and talents to build up the “body of Christ.”
• Implementing an annual pledge drive to financially support the ministries of St. John
• Providing support and encouragement for individuals to grow in their financial giving and in their involvement in the ministry of the congregation
• Encouraging the use of the Biblical model of tithing (10% of income for the work of ministry) as members determine what they will give
• Helping congregational members to include the ministries of St. John’s in their own will or estate plans or through special giving opportunities.

Associated Committees and Organizations:

• St. John’s Charitable Trust – This committee encourages congregational members to consider the ministries of St. John’s in their estate plans and also distributes money to assist in special non-budgeted congregational projects, scholarships for students attending Lutheran colleges and seminaries, mission and outreach ministries, and social service ministries beyond the congregation.

• St. John’s Legacy Society: Members of the congregation who have remembered St. John’s in their wills or estate plans. For more information, click HERE.
