Stewardship
Stewardship comes from the concept that all we have and all that we are comes from God, who has gifted us with talents and abilities, through which we relate to others, earn a living and interact in our daily life. Just as in life we show our appreciation by using the gifts we receive, God asks us to share the gifts we have been given. My name is Michael Cleveland and I am leading the Stewardship ministry at Saguaro Christian Church. If you are interested in learning more about our stewardship ministry or if you are interested in participating in this ministry please give me a call at (520) 440 1253.
