Stewardship
Stewardship is our personal response to God’s generosity in the way we share our resources of time, talent, and treasure.
– The Episcopal Church
TENS (The Episcopal Network for Stewardship)
TENS is an association of church leaders who understand, practice, and proclaim God’s call to generosity. We are children of God, disciples of Jesus Christ who feel called to a ministry of transformation through stewardship.
Project Resource: An initiative from the College for Bishops
Giving of oneself financially unlocks a part of our hearts where God can do incredible work, both in us and through us. As part of our baptismal covenant, we believe we are called to reconcile ourselves to one another and to God. Fundraising is not a means to an end. Rather, fundraising as ministry is a radical act of reconciliation; a process that can both draw the giver closer to God and repair an unjust world. Project Resource provides the tools to inspire radical generosity and engage faith communities in this life-changing work.
