2026 RISEN SUMMER RETREAT
Stewardship
Location
Redwood Christian Park
Biblical stewardship is the faithful use of all that God has entrusted to us—our every breath, energy, time, relationships, resources, gifts, and even our hearts—in a way that is worthy of His calling on our lives. Join your church family as we learn how to be faithful, intentional stewards of all God's blessings.
