To nurture a spirit of Orthodox Christian stewardship, inspiring parishioners to cheerfully and faithfully share their God’s gifts as a fulfillment of Christ's call to glorify His Church.
To cultivate a faithful and generous community of Orthodox stewards, devoted to nurturing the spiritual and financial witness of the Gospel
To achieve a sustainable, vibrant, and united community of dedicated Orthodox Christians.
Stewardship is a personal responsibility and prayerful commitment that each and every Christian makes in order to support the Church. Stewardship helps us understand that God is the true owner of our possessions, and each of us is accountable to God for the acceptable care and use of those possessions.
We consider a Steward one who is an Active Member in good standing, with voting rights and vested interest in St. George, who fulfills their commitment as declared in the St. George ‘Stewardship Pledge Card’
According to the Bible, a steward is one who responsibly manages the gifts entrusted to them for the perpetuation of the Lord's work. A steward honors and glorifies God.
“Let us commend ourselves and one another and our whole life to Christ our God.” –excerpt from The Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom
…that one is giving freely, cheerfully, the first and the best of one’s resources, time, and talents to the work of the Church— in honesty and generosity out of a sense of thanksgiving to God for His many blessings.
The actual proportion of giving you choose when it comes to your time, talents and treasure should be an intentional, prayerful decision. If there is one word to describe “how much”, it would be “meaningful”. This will vary considerably with an individual’s situation.
Time and Talent and Financial blessings giving back for the gifts received from God.
Time and Talent is getting involved with the Church, both in your participation in ministries and offering your volunteer time, as well as your talents, to help further the Church's mission and ministries.
Of course, another choice is to support your church, cheerfully and freely, with financial monthly pledges to support the many operational expenses that churches in America have to keep the places of worship and promulgation of our Orthodox faith.
