Liberty's Philosophy of Stewardship


  • We believe that we worship God in all that we do, including the way we handle our money.
  • We believe that God has been amazingly generous to us.
  • We believe in "carrying our blessings lightly," that God blesses us so that we can bless others through our giving.
  • We believe in giving proportionately, with the goal of giving 10% to gospel-supporting causes.
  • We believe that supporting Liberty Church financially is a sound investment, because "God is changing lives at Liberty."
  • We believe that we cannot out-give God.
  • We believe the fundamental shape of the Christian life is thankfulness.
  • We believe "it is more blessed to give than to receive."
  • We believe our largest annual charitable contribution should be to our local church.
  • We believe in "disciplined generosity", that our giving should be determined prayerfully, purposefully and in advance.
  • We are challenged by how often Jesus pointed to financial stewardship as a measure of our spiritual commitment. 
  • It is a joyful challenge for our giving to keep pace with the work of God's Spirit in and through Liberty Church. 
  • The Session is committed to financial transparency, specifically through making available to all members a monthly summary of income and expenditures.
