Financial Stewardship
Your Generosity
Journey
We honor God when we regard everything we have as His and worship Him with a generous heart.
Stewardship is simply managing the gifts God has entrusted to us in ways that honor Him. As followers of Jesus, we recognize that all good things come to us through His hands.
It’s easy to think of the money we work hard to earn as our own. Our culture encourages us to pursue the enjoyment, comfort, and status that money can bring, and to find our security in a healthy bank account or investment portfolio. But God says He will bless our efforts and our lives if we hold our possession and financial resources loosely. He calls us to depend on Him to meet our needs and to gain fulfillment that goes beyond the temporary.
Our love for God and faith in Jesus motivates us to use God’s gifts wisely, for His glory, to bring about an eternal inheritance.
“God’s grace, love and Christ’s sacrifice for us are given freely to us by God. Because God has been generous with us, we can live generously. As Jesus said, “Freely you have received; freely give.” – Matthew 10:8

Whether you’re just starting out, struggling through some challenging seasons, or at the point where you can start thinking about enjoying retirement, God has a plan for you and your finances. Many discover that they thrive when they live open handed with all they possess—whether a little or a lot. Giving is more than just obedience—it’s an act of faith in God. As we develop a habit of cheerful generosity, our faith grows.

If that’s you, we are here to support you. We want you to know we love YOU, not your money! As your church family, we want to empower you to use your gift wisely so you can exercise your generosity in areas that will make a difference for God’s Kingdom. To learn about upcoming ways to connect with others who share your spiritual gift, contact John Corpstein, Stewardship Pastor.

We want to connect with and support you, too! SBC offers resources to help you manage your income and spending so you have the freedom to live without anxiety and worry, and so you have enough to invest and give to the causes you care about.
Whatever season you’re in and whatever your spiritual gifting, we want to come alongside you to support you in making wise, godly decisions about your spending, investing, and giving. We’re here to support you with resources that will help you achieve your goals, learn about tax advantages, and use what God has entrusted to you for His glory.
Finally, if you believe the Church is the hope of the world through Jesus, and if you agree with the mission and work of SBC, we invite you to support the ministry God has called us to across our Valley and around the world!
