STEWARDSHIP
There is a common perception that Christian stewardship is about balancing the books, keeping the show on the road and paying for the building and the parish share. However, in reality, stewardship is a fundamental aspect of Christian discipleship and needs to be seen in the light of God's mission in creation.

What is Christian stewardship? 

It's inclusive not exclusive - i.e. it's not just about money. 

The whole Christian life - it's about discipleship, learning to follow Christ. 

It's about using and managing our God-given resources appropriately and responsibly.
