What is Stewardship?
At AdelFi, we believe good stewardship is honoring the Lord in everything you do financially. Stewardship isn’t only about being a good saver and good giver. It’s also about being a good planner and looking to the Lord for direction—that includes being intentional about how we spend our money, but also where our resources are spent and invested (a.k.a. Recycling Christian Dollars). This is the idea that the body of Christ is out there in the marketplace, and Christians supporting Christians will help spread the Gospel. When we support fellow believers with our patronage, we enrich their lives because we drive our business to theirs. Ultimately, their stewardship returns dollars to their local ministries and non-profits while supporting the advancement of Christian values and the Kingdom.
