Stewardship is everything we do after saying, "I believe."
What is Stewardship?
As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. How do we respond to God’s call to serve and love our neighbors? We faithfully steward the gifts God has so abundantly given to us.
Although some think of stewardship as only a financial response to God’s love, stewardship encompasses so much more than money. It is about how we use all that God has entrusted to our care – our time, our talents and our treasures, to love God and our neighbors, both inside and outside of the church walls and our homes.

It requires a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian and can be counted toward satisfying your RMD for the year and potentially lowers your tax liability. Please consult your tax advisor for details.
