Stewardship Ministry

Stewardship is responsibility for taking good care of resources entrusted to one. At Diamond Lake, we are being good stewards by taking care of each other and our neighbors through our financial support of our church family through an Annual Giving pledge. Additionally, we are good stewards by giving of our time, talent, and energy to the many ministry opportunities offered at and through Diamond Lake. We are all asked to give back joyfully to God in thanksgiving for the abundance He has given us through our pledges of time, talent, and treasure!

Each household should base their financial pledge upon a percent of income. Tithing (giving the first tenth or 10%) is a holy habit that should be the practice or goal of each member of Diamond Lake. If it is a goal, one can use increases in proportional giving to grow into this holy habit. Just as we grow in faith, we continually strive for growth in our stewardship response to meet this standard of giving.

2012 Pledge Card (stay tuned)

All adults are also asked to complete and turn in a Time & Talent pledge card to indicate in which ministry opportunities they are active and interested. Interest in a ministry opportunity will result in contact from the ministry leader to get more information about the opportunity and to get involved in it!

Other ways members support God’s work at Diamond Lake are by donations to our Endowment Fund. Gifts to the Endowment Fund will produce benefits for years to come. For details, contact our Treasurer.

Stewardship is providing care in many different ways – monetarily and through one’s time, talent, and energy. However you practice stewardship at Diamond Lake, please know that it is recognized and appreciated by all who are affected by it.
