STEWARDSHIP MINISTRY
Director: Peter Harden
"The point is this: the one who sows
sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the
one who
sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each
of you must give as
you have made up your mind, not
reluctantly or under compulsion, for God
loves a
cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with
every blessing in abundance, so that by always having
enough of everything, you may share abundantly in
every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (NRSV)
Ministry Description:
The Stewardship Ministry works to empower people to
become responsible beneficiaries of the universe's
rich abundance. Our primary aim is to teach participants
how to put God first and thereby work the spiritual
laws effectively
to demonstrate prosperity in their
lives, world, and affairs.
Ministry Organizations:
Adventure in Faith Campaign: This
is the Center's focused seven-week
annual campaign,
during which participants are instructed on the principles
under girding financial commitment.
Capital Campaign: Our goal
is to retire the existing mortgage debt and provide
resources toward the building of UTC's new edifice,
and the expansion of the Universal Academy and the
Universal Truth Community Development Corporation.
Debt Free Management and Credit Counseling
Program: Certified credit counselors
assist interested parties in the restructuring
of debt and the proper application of credit in
their lives.
Debt Free Program: Debt drains
your energy and your money. This hands-on class facilitates
your personal debt-elimination plan and provides instruction
about sound financial management.
Grants: The goal of this committee
is to identify sources and apply for funding that will
enable the Center to develop and maintain programs
and activities in keeping with our message of empowerment.
Planned Giving: This system
offers the opportunity for individuals to donate to
the various programs and services that the Center provides
for our friends, members, and the surrounding community.
Sponsorship: This committee's
aim is to build cooperative partnerships with commercial
enterprises and affiliates of the Universal Truth Center.
