What is stewardship?

Stewardship is a way of life, which acknowledges accountability, reverence, and responsibility before God. A primary goal of Stewardship is to promote spiritual growth and strengthen our faith in God. Becoming a Steward begins when we believe in God, to whom we give our love, loyalty and trust and act on those beliefs. As Stewards, we affirm that every aspect of our lives comes as a gift from Him. Stewardship calls on the faithful to cheerfully offer back to God a portion of the gifts with which they have been blessed.

Who is a steward?

A steward is an active participant in the life of the Church. The Annunciation encourages all who accept the Orthodox Faith to become practicing Stewards. Each year the Steward is expected to carefully review his or her personal circumstances and make a commitment of time, talent, and treasure to support the Annunciation and her Ministries, which in turn support the National Ministries of our Archdiocese, the Archdiocesan District and institutions.

How can I get involved at the Annunciation to give my time and talents?

All stewards and families can participate in ministries and offer their time as well as their talents to help further the Annunciation’s mission and ministries. Please take a look at our list of ministries and consider offering your time and talents.

What is the annual operating budget for the Annunciation?

The operating budget of the Annunciation is $1,000,000.00. Please keep in mind that our Annunciation is a historic building and requires constant maintenance and care.

What is the average pledge per Annunciation family to cover operating costs?

Last year, the annual pledge per Annunciation family was approximately $1,000.00. Our daily operating costs are $2,500.00 a day. We hope you consider joining our “Sponsor One Day” program. However, any stewardship contribution is greatly appreciated.  

We pray that you and your families continue to stay healthy and safe. We look forward to seeing you either in church as appropriate or on our livestream.
