STEWARDSHIP MINISTRY TEAM
Mission: The congregation of Rockfish Presbyterian Church has a deep gratitude for the gifts of God and
a joyful generosity of time, talents, and financial resources born of that gratitude.
Goals:
A. Promote mission awareness and outreach to others in Christ’s name as a primary focus of the
church.
B. The congregation knows the fruits of its generosity in the past and the opportunities that need
support in the future.
Strategies:
1. Involve Ministry Teams in developing an annual operating budget including a budget for the
Stewardship Ministry Team.
2. Prepare and present in a timely manner each year a total Rockfish Presbyterian Church budget to the
Session for approval, and present and interpret that budget to the congregation at the annual meeting.
3. Develop and oversee a process for the accurate receipt, accounting, and disbursal of funds.
4. Keep the Session informed in a timely manner regarding budgetary irregularities and recommended
remedies.
5. Oversee all bequests, investment accounts, and memorial funds including a process for encouraging
gifts and bequest and for making appropriate use of these accounts and funds in consultation with the
Session and the families involved.
6. Oversee the development of a data bank of congregational interests and talents and encourage
Ministry Teams and the Nominating Committee to use this data bank to broadly involve the congregation
in the life of the church.
7. Develop and execute an annual time line of publicity and events geared toward educating the
congregation on issues of stewardship. This will culminate in an annual Commitment Sunday.
8. Arrange for educational materials and speakers for the congregation concerning methods of giving to
the church.
9. Make a monthly report to the Session including written recommendations for action.
10. Recruit new members for the Stewardship Ministry Team as needed.
Chairpersons: Doug Wood, Chair; Cheryl Borgman, Co-Chair
