Stewardship Ministries

Our Vision:
To enable pastors and church leaders to identify, claim, nurture and deploy the gifts of time, talent and treasure that God has given.  To accomplish this, we intend to provide:  Inspiration, Encouragement, and Information through conversations, consultations, visitations, materials and training events or other means of communication.

Here are ways we can help you:

Stewardship Assessment

Using financial data provided by your church, the Stewardship Ministry Team can help you assess your church’s financial situation and offer options for funding ministry and mission.

Assistance with Annual Financial Stewardship Campaign

Using the PC(USA) Stewardship Manual as a resource, members of the Stewardship Ministry Team will assist pastors, sessions and stewardship committees as they map out the financial program for the congregation.

Consultation on Endowments & Planned Giving

Consultations offer ideas and support for churches interested in building a program of enduring gifts including  endowments, bequests, wills emphasis and capital campaigns.

Coaches

Members of the Stewardship Ministry Team meet regularly with pastors and other stewardship leaders to assist with stewardship campaign implementation, capital campaigns and endowment strategy.

Preaching & Teaching

Members of the Stewardship Ministry Team are available to preach, teach Adult Education classes, or lead retreats for your congregation.

On-line Resources

Bible studies, planning guides, preaching aids, endowment strategy, articles, stories are available online.

Generous Congregations

Generous Congregations is an invitation to your congregation to begin living more generous lives as a reflection of a growing faith and trust in the Creator God.  Generous Congregations asks your congregation to make a long-term commitment to learning what God has to say about money and possessions.  Generous Congregations will provide your congregation with an opportunity to learn and work and pray together for three to five years around the subject of money and faith.  During this time you will identify the “money culture” in your own congregation, find out what Jesus taught about money, celebrate God’s gifts to you, discuss tithing, discover an alternative to our materialistic culture, and become a more generous congregation. 

Stewardship Kaleidoscope

The Stewardship Ministry Team offers scholarship assistance for members of Pittsburgh Presbytery to attend the annual Stewardship Kaleidoscope conference.
