Epiphany is a Stewardship Parish - meaning:
- Through a deliberate, prayerful, directed decision to return our gifts to God, parish programs, staffing, service to the larger community and beyond, and all other needs are met.
- There is no need for additional fundraising.
- We try to live out the belief that we are “stewards” and as good stewards, we return a proportional amount to God.
“We accept the responsibility of shared collaborative ministry.”
