Welcome to the Stewardship webpage for adults!

Stewardship is not a euphemism for a church pledge drive. Stewardship is a way of life grounded in our identity as stewards of God’s gifts. As Christians, we recognize that everything we have is a gift from God, and we have the responsibility to use these gifts faithfully. We do so by setting intentions to grow, serve, and share.

If you are one of our youth, please visit our STEWARDSHIP FOR YOUTH page to complete your online pledge:

WHAT IS STEWARDSHIP AT FIRST CONGO?

It’s a beautiful reflection of our church’s legacy, filled with faith, community, and resilience. Take a listen and a walk down memory lane to explore the deep roots that continue to guide us today.

The following brief videos remind us of the importance of stewardship for our congregation and are intended to help you discern how you might practice faithful stewardship in the year ahead.
