Stewardship 2025 - Our Duty and Delight

Giving, as faithful stewards of God’s gifts, is both our Duty and Delight.

It is our duty, because we are responsible as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, to support and enable the ministry and mission of Roseville Lutheran Church. It is our duty to pay the church bills and provide for the financial needs of our ministries and programs, as well as our benevolence support of our partners in the community.

It is our delight, because we get to show our thanks and praise to God through giving. It is a delight to respond in joy and generosity to God’s self-sacrifice through Jesus Christ, who gave his life for us, that through faith, we may have life, abundantly and eternally.

We invite and encourage you to check out our Weekly Stewardship Talks on the RLC YouTube page.

Watch your mail for the stewardship packet, with a chart to help you make your plan to grow in your faithful stewardship, and a pledge card to bring with you to worship on Commitment Sunday, November 16!

Our membership records reveal the following:

971 - Active Member Households

642 - Giving Households

98 - Households make a pledge and commitment to support the ministry and mission of the church

55 - Households are automatic givers to fulfill their pledge and commitment

Our goal is not only to grow our stewardship support, but to triple the number of households making a pledge/commitment and automatic giving for the sake of our current and future ministry and mission needs.

Join us in learning how becoming faithful stewards is both our Duty and our Delight! Pray and discuss what your stewardship plan and commitment will be for the coming year, a sign of your gratitude and trust in the Lord!

Join us as we bring our pledges to God on Commitment Sunday, Nov. 16!

 Your Gifts Make Our Ministry Possible!

During the Annual Appeal in October and November, we ask all members to provide their Intent to Give over the coming 12 months. We rely on member financial gifts to support and sustain our day-to-day ministries, including worship services, Christian education and faith formation, community ministries, hospitality, staffing, communications, building maintenance and utilities, technology and supplies, and more.

Take some time to reflect on what faithful stewardship is all about through our Stewardship Videos - RLC Stewardship Videos

Then fill out the form you received in the mail and either bring with you on Commitment Sunday, November 16, or return it to Roseville Lutheran Church by Friday, November 14. 

“When I think about giving to the church,
(I know) our time and resources
go directly to help others.”

How Can I Participate?

Our annual ministry budget for 2025-2026 is $1,302,240.  This budget is supported by your faithful stewardship and financial gifts!

We are also challenging all members to increase their annual gift by 10% to support our shared ministries. This increase in giving will insure the ongoing, daily ministries of our community, as well as provide resources to achieve our strategic goals in 2025-2026.

For example, a 10% increase in your weekly or monthly gift moves from $25.00 to $27.50, $75.00 to $82.50, $100.00 to $110.00, $125.00 to $137.50, $150.00 to $165.00.
