For the internal workings of church, it is all about stewardship. I am confronted by this by idea almost daily. On Sunday, churchgoers give a portion of their earnings to God, following God’s will and their heart’s desire. On Monday, those gifts become the responsibility of church workers.
God lets us manage His gifts.
That is a weighty thought.
I am convinced that all operations of the church should be dictated by stewardship. It is the umbrella under which all decisions take place. From budgeting to hiring to firing, we are to manage all resources, whether monetary or human, to the best of our ability. This means that it is ok to seek efficiency in operations. It’s ok to make tough decisions. It’s also ok to make sure that resources are not overused.
Let’s have a conversation. What challenges have you experienced in stewarding church resources?
