Va Synod Stewards

What is Stewardship?

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "stewardship?" Budgets and spreadsheets? Money? Pledge cards? What about love?

Stewardship is about so much more than money – stewardship is about love. Stewardship is about our love for what God has done for us that expresses itself through generous hearts, minds and hands as we extend ourselves to
our neighbors in the name of Christ.

That’s why we developed "Va Synod Stewards" a new resource you can use for doing year-round stewardship ministry in your congregation. Rooted in a holistic, biblically based approach to stewardship, we challenge leaders to reimagine the ways in which they steward God’s resources — time, talents and treasures — in response to God’s commandment to love God and our neighbors.

Our Mission & Vision

Our mission and vision for stewardship ministry in the Virginia Synod is depicted in our logo……generous hearts, minds, and hands. We are not about raising money but rather about raising faith. God has come down to us in Jesus Christ.

He has touched our hearts with a love that is too large for comprehension. He has given us the gift of our minds to think and reason to discern how we might serve Him, and has given us the hands with which to do that service. A life lived this way has purpose and meaning. Our mission and vision is to equip individuals and churches in the Virginia Synod with tools that can help them grow in their faith and to live with this purpose and meaning. May God be glorified in our ministry together.
