Stewardship Training and Services
With the understanding that God has provided all of us with the gifts of our talents and skills, we are dedicated to helping all churches realize their stewardship or caretaker responsibilities of those gifts. We assist in capital campaigns, annual commitment campaigns, stewardship workshops, and financial planning seminars for laity, clergy and those in the ordination process.
Our mission
To encourage, empower and support stewardship in churches and individuals
throughout New York and neighboring states.
Our vision
To provide the means for United Methodists to strengthen the mission and ministry of local congregations, by educating, empowering and providing the tools for the support and funding of ministries of the church; by acting as the trustee on behalf of UM Churches for building funds, mission endowments, scholarship awards, memorial funds, annuities, etc.; by providing competent leadership and resources for stewardship education for annual commitment programs, capital campaigns, endowment building and planned giving; and by educating ministers and trustees about personal and church finances so they will personally and institutionally be able to pursue their mission.
