The Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for congregational fundraising and stewardship, and thus, the Board is represented on the Stewardship Council, which integrates the fundraising activities of the Annual Pledge Drive, the Building Fund, the Endowment Fund, and the Annual Auction.
Vision
Spiritual Stewardship
Sharing the gifts of our time, talent, and treasure is a spiritual act. We practice spiritual stewardship when we work together and use our gifts to transform each other, our community, and the world. By sharing our gifts, we grow, deepen, and nurture our own spirituality.
Stewardship Council Operations
- The Stewardship Council is a core team of leaders who facilitate conversations and provide guidance for teaching about and integrating stewardship into all UUCC activities.
- The Stewardship Council welcomes participation from any member of the UUCC community with a strong interest in encouraging and facilitating spiritual stewardship:
- The Endowment Board, Board of Trustees, and key fundraising committees (auction, pledge drive, and capital campaign team) are represented on the Stewardship Council.
- The Stewardship Council recognizes that every congregant is integral to and involved in the UUCC Stewardship Program through the sharing of their gifts of time, talent, and treasure, regardless of their participation on the Stewardship Council.
- The Stewardship Council meets monthly year round.
- Decisions are made through open discussion and consensus.
- If a Chair is not in place, members take turns developing the agenda, supporting the meeting, and taking minutes.
