Stewardship, A Gift of Gratitude to God
Your stewardship is a tangible expression of heartfelt gratitude to God, it is critical to the ministries of our Church Family, and it is greatly appreciated. Consider that our very existence, all that we have, all that we are, are gifts from God. We are called to be co-workers with God in the ministry of His Church. Financial stewardship is a primary way of offering thanks to God, and of sharing in the work of His ministry. Your stewardship gift supports Worship, pastoral care for all of our members, educational and fellowship programs for our youth; seniors; and whole Church Family, philanthropic outreach to the broader community and so much more.
It costs approximately $2,100 per day to offer all of the ministries of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Church. Please consider sponsoring a day or more as your stewardship gift. Your gift can be made in quarterly or monthly installments.
