Stewardship - Home

 

Good personal stewardship of time, talent, and treasure has always been essential for members of Good Shepherd with an emphasis on serving families, children and adolescents, the surrounding community and the world.

If you do not currently make an annual pledge to Good Shepherd, we ask that you prayerfully consider participating in the Fall Campaign with an annual pledge.  For those who are current pledging, we ask that you prayerfully consider increasing your measure of giving in 2008 by at least 3% so we may ensure the mission of Good Shepherd continues and the measure may be given back to you and your neighbors. 

Good Shepherd's goal is not to just maintain the church and its buildings, but to answer our call to minister and to fulfill our mission of reaching out.  What imaginations and possibilities are out there for Good Shepherd to minister to?  How can we impact ourselves, our neighbors and our community?  Help us continue to grow those relationships we value at Good Shepherd.

 Our stewardship philosophy is scripturally-based. In Matthew 25:34-36,40, Jesus says, "Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you, for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me. Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of the members of my family, you did it to me."
