Giving

Learn about stewardship and giving to the Garden City Community Church

A steward is a person who has been entrusted with another's resources, and who seeks to manage those resources according to the owner's vision and values. The gospel calls us to recognize that everything we have is a gift from God, and that those gifts are to be used for his glory and to further his kingdom. Scripture even calls Christians “caretakers of God's gifts and truth” (1 Peter 4:10, 1 Cor. 4:1).

We recognize that in addition to acting as responsible stewards of our talents and skills, we must also be stewards of our possessions and finances. Our tradition at the Garden City Community Church is for member families to prayerfully “pledge” on a yearly basis. The pledge drive takes place in November of each year so that we can plan for the coming year ahead in the maintenance of our church congregation and the support of our church’s wider mission, which is, “Go Ye into the World.”
