Stewardship
Membership at St. Luke means participating in church life as well as allowing the church to “participate” in your life. By taking part in the religious, social, educational, and financial life of the parish we participate and become apart of the church. By applying the teachings of the church to the way we live our lives, the church becomes a part of us.
It is through Stewardship that we become Members of the Church. Participation in church life calls for the voluntary contribution to the fiscal needs of the church. In addition, Stewards of St. Luke donate their time and talents by taking part in the programs of the parish and serving in whatever way they are able. This contribution is a vital aspect of our participation in the church and makes us part of the church. In fulfilling our financial contribution to the church and following this biblical directive, the church also becomes a part of us. The church becomes a priority in our lives as Christians.
The parish draws its financial support from the free-will giving of its individual members as they are guided by conscience and an understanding of the Christian concept of stewardship. Everyone is blessed differently and enjoys a different level of material wealth. The Lord teaches us to give according to the abundance we have received. Payment of the pledged amount may of course be made in any schedule the family finds most convenient - weekly, monthly, quarterly, lump sum, etc. All pledge information is kept confidential.
