Committees, Commissions, and Boards: The Stewardship Commission
Stewardship is everything that we do after we say 'I believe.' Too often it is seen as the annual fall fund-raising necessary to pay the bills. And that neither works nor is it accurate.
The Stewardship Commission of the Diocese of New Jersey is made up of dedicated clergy and lay ministers dedicated to assisting your parish, mission, or you personally to develop faithful stewardship practices. We believe that stewardship is everything we do after we say “I believe.” The Commission works all year to put forth the message that stewardship is a twelve-month-a-year concern for our caring for the Kingdom of God, a part of which is funding our ministries.
