How we use time, talent, treasure and more matters to God. Is your Moravian congregation living into the incredible responsibility, privilege and joy of becoming the stewards God intends us to be? The Moravian Ministries Foundation in America provides Stewardship Services to help people of faith along the journey to live more fully into our identity as stewards.

Thriving churches pay attention to these four essentials of stewardship:

  • Theology
  • Leadership
  • Mission and vision
  • Whole life focus

After an assessment on the four areas above, we can help your congregation identify:

  • Short term goals
  • Long term changes the church hopes to see
  • Benchmarks
  • Action plans

Our Stewardship Services incorporate three key components of financial stewardship: annual, planned, and capital giving.

Unity Moravian Church - Lewisville, NC
“The support of the MMFA in stewardship services has been invaluable to our church’s work over the past few years.  Laura Watson has guided us throughout the process of developing a stewardship team, and she continues to help facilitate our work. Her knowledge of stewardship and its practical application and scriptural foundation has been most appreciated by our church.
MMFA helped to lay the groundwork for our board’s work in redeveloping our mission statement. They have also been instrumental in moving us to begin thinking about stewardship as a year-long activity–showing us how stewardship envelopes all of our actions as a church.” – The Rev. Scott Rainey, pastor of Unity Moravian Church
