Stewardship

 The Stewardship Mission Team (SMT) is a fun, goal-oriented group focused on providing Emanuel’s members with a year-round dedication to growing as stewards in our faith.  We strive to emphasize that stewardship is much more than an annual pledge drive for money.  It is ongoing, and it incorporates the giving of one’s time and one’s talents, as well as being stewards of the earth. 

This group has started a new offering envelope program, instituted the Simply Giving automatic payment option, led a recent seminar on tithing (which was really quite fun!), and encourages individuals to participate in the Financial Peace University program..

Recent communications have centered on books of the Bible speaking of stewardship, the meanings of being a steward, stewardship principles, and the spiritual gift of generosity and tithing.   

Offerings
It is our duty and delight to offer to God the first fruits of that which we have received.  Emanuel’s half-million dollar annual budget is supported by the generosity of its many members and supporters.

Increasing numbers of members choose to give through electronic deductions through
Simply Giving®, a  free and easy automated giving program designed to help you conveniently and consistently contribute to Emanuel Lutheran Church. Through Simply Giving®, your gifts are made through a pre-authorized withdrawal from your bank account or credit card.
