STEWARDSHIP

Stewardship means to care for something well, and it's the word many churches use to talk about regular giving. Naturally, a big part of stewardship includes caring for buildings and covering salaries. Mundane? Maybe. But that practical view misses the "so that we can" component of our role as church.

 

We give at Westwood "so that we can" be better stewards for a world that needs us. Stewardship (and our building, salaries, ministries and partnerships it enables—not to mention yearly vision items) is Westwood's engine for living out our mission to be a vital and necessary part of the world. It's not, then, about fixing boilers. It's about creating a warm incubator for faith, and discovering and living out our vocation as people of God.

​

Your giving is fuel for the world we hope and strive for.

We invite you to make your commitment to  Westwood's Vision and Ministries by November 19. Materials will also be mailed to you.

In 2024 we are inviting the congregation to prayerfully consider a 5% increase in annual giving.
