Every church is different and unique, but each congregation needs a ministry that will encourage members to develop as Christian stewards. And...it's a ministry all churches can have.

Developing a ministry of stewardship in the church requires planning and organization. In many churches different groups (i.e.finance committee, counting committee, etc.) often operate independently of each other to carry out stewardship functions. A ministry of stewards calls for these groups to be related in a way that better focuses the church's attention on stewardship development and growth.

A better approach to an effective stewardship ministry is to enlist and elect a committed and functioning committee or team with the specific assignment of leading the church in a ministry of stewardship. Everything related to stewardship in the church would be the responsibility of that group, creating a more consistent and coordinated ministry.
