The step everyone is asked to take is one more percentage point of take-home pay, with a smaller, simpler step for households giving less than about $80 a month. Champions, the households leading this campaign, go to three points or five percent, whichever is higher. Ten percent of take-home is a little under ten percent of gross income.

What if stewardship is about more than balancing a budget or deciding what to put in an offering plate? In this new column, we’ll explore stewardship as a way of living faithfully with all that God has entrusted to us—our money, certainly, but also our time, gifts, relationships, and opportunities. Together, we’ll consider how generosity shapes our lives, strengthens our church, and helps us participate in God’s work in the world.
