Stewardship
2024 Stewardship Program
“Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant”
Our Stewardship theme for 2024 is “Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant,” from the Parable of the Talents. We are all blessed with certain gifts. This parable stresses the importance of developing our gifts, multiplying them, and offering them back in service to God.
The annual themes associated with the Stewardship Ministry Campaigns going back to 2010 are intended to broaden the general understanding of Orthodox Christian Stewardship. Resources from each of these years are available on this web site and remain timely as a supplement to the current year’s resources. Many of the professionally designed tri-fold brochures past years are available through OrthodoxMarketplace.com. We encourage parish leaders to make use of previous themes to educate members on the broader meaning of Orthodox Christian Stewardship as it applies to all aspects of our lives.
The ministries and work of St. Andrew’s are supported 100% by your donations!
If you would like to become a steward at St Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church, please take a minute and fill out the online pledge form and support the work we’re doing or download the Stewardship Package.
How much should my Stewardship pledge be? There is no minimum amount to be a Steward, but consider all that God has done for you and His abundant blessings. The Scriptural Model is to tithe 10% of our income to our God. Prayerfully consider what is possible for you and your family. Many of our Stewards strive to offer 3% of their yearly income.

A Year-End Charitable Giving Tip – If you have benefited from the significant gains in the stock market this year, you can do well as you do good. Consider making a gift of appreciated stock to St. Andrew’s, the Church you love. Consult your financial advisor and ask about the potential tax benefits of a gift of stock to St. Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church. You may be surprised how generous you can be thanks to a bull market.
