What is Stewardship?
Christian Stewardship is all about becoming good caretakers of all that God has given us. Think about all that God has given us – our health, our family, our opportunities in life, our intelligence, our talents. God has given each of us special and unique gifts, and through Holy Scripture we are taught that all that we have is a loan. He lends everything to us, and reminds us that one day He will ask us to give a detailed account of what we have done with the gifts He has given us. How have we used our time, our talents, and our treasure? Have we used them in a self-centered way or in God-glorifying ways?
Stewardship consists of three elements: Talent, Time and Treasure. Each one requires parishioners to "give of themselves". In Talent, Stewardship requires us to use our talents for the benefit of the Church. For Time, Stewardship requires us to give our time to help towards the mission of the church. Finally, Treasure requires us to give towards the financial sustenance of our parish. We should give from our hearts, not simply as a second thought.
What does Your Pledge do?
Your financial pledge shows your faith in our mission as a community of Orthodox Christians. It supports a wide range of activities, from ministry work to building improvements and everything in between. By committing your resources, you affirm your trust in the work we are doing in Missoula and beyond.
While the Church is not a business, it operates in a world that requires financial support to sustain its efforts. Your contributions help cover essential expenses such as church upkeep, utilities, and the facilitation of services and ministry groups. Every pledge plays a vital role in enabling our community to flourish and serve those in need. In the photos below you can see the impact that our financial Stewards made in 2024. Our goals for 2025 are big and we need you!
