What is Stewardship?
Stewardship is the responsibility to maintain and use wisely the gifts that God has bestowed on us to take care of His Creation.
At Trinity, there are many opportunities to practice stewardship: sing in the choir, teach church school, helping with Sunday morning coffee hour, joining in some of the many mission and outreach projects, or becoming active in one of the women's or men's groups.
Whatever form your participation takes—money, time, or talent—stewardship is essentially a spiritual exercise, an issue of faith development expressed in generosity and commitment to supporting Christ's work in the world.
One of the most tangible ways of practicing faithful stewardship is through monetary offerings. And we ask you to pledge annually to help us build a budget that will support ongoing mission and expenses.
Where Does All The Money Go?
A little over 70% of Trinity’s total operating budget is committed to utility bills, salaries, maintenance and administrative costs. The rest is used for Pastoral Ministry, Music & Worship, Christian Education, Membership and Benevolence (outreach and assistance to those in need).
Members of the congregation have the opportunity to review the annual budget and pose questions to the Strategy and Stewardship Committee. The budget is then approved by Session and presented to the congregation. An annual report containing the budget is available to all members.
Remember Trinity in Your Will
Just as we are indebted to those who have gone before us, so, too, should we provide for the future of the Church. Trinity's Endowment Committee can help you navigate this process.
There are many good reasons to write a will, and one of them is to leave a memorial to remind future generations of what God has done for us and help them grow in their faith. As part of your estate plan, please consider providing for ministries that were important to you in life. If you are interested in including Trinity in your will, please contact the church office for more information.
