Annual Stewardship STEWARDSHIP MINISTRY GROUP REPORT by: Rick Hess, Elder
The increase in 2019 stewardship pledges demonstrated commitment of Pinnacle members to support the many ministries of the church. Pledges funded more than half of the costs of the programs and buildings, and it is the single most important way of financially supporting the church. The total dollars pledged was $1,349,854. This was a 6% increase over the prior year and reversed a three year decline in total dollars pledged. Forty-three members pledged for the first time. The only negative number was that total pledges decreased by eight. While the stewardship committee primarily focuses on communicating the reasons to support the church with dollars, we do recognize the many thousands of hours that the members give to the church each year. This church would not be the success it is without the time and talent contributed by the members. When you add time, talent and dollars together, it paints a picture of a church that makes a difference in the lives of the members, the community, and the world. Thank you for your continued support!
