“Christian stewardship is not so much about raising money as it is about raising people. I approach this ministry within the Church out of sense of vocational call as a Christian minister, and out of a sense of joyous partnership with clergy and laity to serve with them in defining moments in the life of their church. Capital campaigns and other stewardship enhancing events are teachable moments God uses to open our hearts, our hands, and our hopes to greater maturity in Christian discipleship, greater unity around a church’s vision for ministry, and greater joy in our experience of God’s abundant life.”
