Giving

Giving with a spirit of joy...

At Faith Lutheran, giving is something we do with a spirit of joy in response to the love and forgiveness we have freely received in Jesus. “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver,” (2 Corinthians 9:7). Your gift blesses Faith’s continued mission to “seek and save the lost,” (Luke 19:10).

If you would like to make a gift of stock or an IRA qualified charitable distribution (QCD) please contact Kay Gerlach (Faith’s Director of Finance).

Stewardship

Stewardship is taking care of your God-given gifts.

Stewardship starts with the Creator. From creation, human beings were tasked with the stewardship of all that the Lord God made. But this stewardship was not left to the will and whim of man. Instead, being created in the image of God, the steward is to reflect the Creator’s will in every aspect of his or her stewardship. Stewards can be good. But because of the first stewardship crisis of Genesis 3, all stewardship is flawed. Usurping the role of the Creator, sinful stewards claimed ownership of what was not theirs (time, talents, treasures). But in the blessing of the Gospel, the steward is redeemed and set free to reflect the image of the Creator and Redeemer. Stewardship that begins in the right place can, by the leading of the Holy Spirit through the Gospel, produce an understanding of stewardship that is liberating. The desired result is faithfulness.

Watch three testimonies above of Faith members who have learned what it means to be good stewards of time, talent, and treasure.
