Giving: An Act of Worship

Story by Jean Michel Etienne, Stewardship Director

The New Jersey Conference Regional Stewardship Summit, held earlier this year at the Robbinsville church, brought together many church leaders to learn collaborative approaches of understanding stewardship and giving as an act of worship.

The event began with a powerful keynote address by Jackson Doggette Jr., a pastor and attorney, who emphasized the urgent need for collective action to become and remain faithful stewards.

Attendees learned that relationships are another vital area where stewardship principles apply. The Bible teaches that believers should nurture and value their relationships with others, reflecting God’s love and grace.

The workshop provided participants with hands-on opportunities to explore topics like wills and trust services, 401K and retirement. Attendees had the opportunity to collaborate, share best practices and develop actionable strategies to implement in their churches and communities.
