Mission Action/Stewardship

Action/Stewardship

What does stewardship mean to you? Women of the ELCA encourages and equips women to consider their responsibility and capacity for stewardship.

We create educational resources about giving and managing money, including devotions, Bible studies, and program materials for individuals and small groups.

Donate online to support the ministries of Women of the ELCA. Learn more about ThankofferingsFaithful Friends, and Katie’s Fund.  And please share the monthly stewardship devotion with the women in your congregation.

If you have questions about any resources, please contact the churchwide offices using the Contact form here or at the top of the page.
