I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, quality and freedom for their spirits.

Earn all you can.  Save all you can. Give all you can.

 

John Wesley, founder of Methodism, grounded his ministry with a holistic understanding of stewardship.  His sermon, “The Good Steward” is foundational material for United Methodists. 

 

Bishop Kenneth Carder, a Wesleyan scholar and Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry at Duke Divinity School, has authored a four-part adult study, Living for Giving.  The DVD-based curriculum offers Wesley's theological understanding of stewardship as well as practical applications of the concepts for the church today.  Contact us for more information about this resource.
