Stewardship Resources
“As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord.” – USCCB
Teaching stewardship and growing giving can be intimidating for pastors, church administrators, and volunteers new to the field. We are here to help guide you through the process of securing funds for your parish and ministry needs without fundraising.

If you are getting started with a church capital campaign, building project, preparing for an annual stewardship campaign, or just trying to grow a culture of generosity at your church, you’ll find what you need to get started here!
