To give as God gives is to become more human.
Genuine stewardship giving is fulfilling and satisfying and so produces a sense of well-being and emotional and spiritual fitness. Authentic stewardship giving is rewarding in its wholesomeness. To give as God gives is to become more human, more of what God has created human beings to be. To be an unconstrained and authentic steward is to incorporate giving into the wholeness of the Christian life growing toward God-likeness.
Good and Faithful Servant
Stewardship in the Orthodox Church
The stewardship’s goal is to bring this understanding and opportunity to every person in the parish. Education about time, treasure and talent are shared during in-house visitations with parishioners. Sermons on stewardship are delivered to the congregation. The belief is that through a correct understanding of stewardship, an Orthodox believer can further develop his or her relationship with God and reap the benefits of that growth.
In doing so, the parish is richly rewarded with growth, vibrancy and the means for carrying out Christ’s work.
