“Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.” — 1 Peter 4:10

Stewardship begins with a simple recognition:

We have received grace.

Notice what he doesn't say.

He doesn't speak of guilt. He doesn't speak of pressure. He speaks of joy, gratitude, abundance, and grace.

Christian generosity grows from the recognition that we have already received much from God.

Our financial giving is one way we participate in God's work through the church. Together, our gifts make worship, mission, pastoral care, Christian formation, music, fellowship, outreach, and the daily ministry of Three Chopt possible.

But generosity is about more than meeting expenses.

It is one way gratitude becomes visible.

It is one way we say, “Thank you, God, for what you have entrusted to us.”

As you begin considering your financial commitment for 2027, we invite you to pray about this question:

How can my generosity become an expression of gratitude rather than obligation?
