Stewardship FAQ
What is stewardship?
Stewardship is about faithfully managing and sharing the gifts God has entrusted to us, including our time, talents, and financial resources. Tithes and offerings are an important part of financial stewardship, helping sustain Wesley's worship, ministries, outreach, and daily operations. Through faithful giving, we support the work of the church and its mission in our community and beyond.
What is a commitment, and why is it important?
A commitment is an estimate of what you intend to give to Wesley during the coming year. Financial commitments help us plan responsibly, develop an accurate budget, and make informed decisions about staffing, ministries, and outreach opportunities.
Is my commitment binding?
No. Your commitment is an expression of your intended giving, not a legally binding obligation. We understand that financial circumstances can change, and there is no penalty if you are unable to fulfill your commitment. We simply ask that you prayerfully consider what you are able to give.
How do I submit my commitment?
You can submit your annual commitment using a commitment card during our stewardship campaign or through our online commitment form. Submitting a commitment does not automatically initiate payments. You can give throughout the year using whichever giving method works best for you.
Can I change my commitment during the year?
Absolutely! We understand that circumstances change. If you need to increase, decrease, or otherwise adjust your commitment, simply contact the finance office. Your commitment can be updated at any time.
Do I need to make a commitment to give to Wesley?
Not at all! Making a financial commitment is encouraged because it helps Wesley plan for the coming year, but it is never required. Every gift is appreciated, whether or not you've submitted a commitment card.
Do I need to give 10% of my income?
Traditionally, a tithe is giving 10% of one's income to God through the church, while an offering is a gift given beyond the tithe.
At Wesley, we view tithing as a goal to prayerfully work toward, recognizing that faithful stewardship is a journey. Everyone is at a different place in that journey, and we encourage you to begin where you are and grow in your giving as you are able. Every gift, regardless of size, helps support the mission and ministries of the church.

Where does my committed giving go?
Your financial commitment helps support Wesley's ongoing ministries and mission. We encourage commitments to our three primary funds: Operations, Building Use, and Missions. These funds support the church's daily operations, care of our facilities, and outreach efforts locally and around the world.
