At Hope Church, the Stewardship committee wears two hats so to say, the Stewardship committee and the Finance committee. 

The Finance part consists of setting policies and procedures for handling money and preparing financial reports for the session and congregation. We try to be transparent with the congregation regarding our financial status. We also work with the business world to be good stewards of the church’s money by working closely with the bank regarding our mortgage and Charles Schwab who helps us manage our endowment fund. We work with the other committees to produce an annual budget that allows the church and congregation to carry out its goals and missions. The committee makes financial recommendations to the Session.

On the Stewardship part we try to help the congregation grow in their faith by creating awareness of opportunities to give of their time, talents, and treasures. This is a team effort with the Session to keep all our activities inline with the goals and mission statement of the church. We want to make sure our activities match the passions of the congregation and help to spread the word of God and Christianity in our community. The committee runs the annual Stewardship campaign.
