stewardship

"Honor the Lord with your possessions, with the first produce of your entire harvest."

Proverbs 3:9

Principles of Stewardship

Jesus teaches us to honor God with our resources. This includes our time, talent, and treasures (money). Regular, generous, and joyful giving to the Lord of our “tithes and offerings” is taught and encouraged (Malachi 3:10-12).

The leadership and staff at NorthPark strive to be the best stewards of the resources God has blessed the church with through your generous giving. Managing the financial resources of the church is done with the utmost integrity following generally accepted accounting principles. In addition to qualified staff leading church operations, a stewardship team of lay leaders provides continual accountability and review of NorthPark’s finances.

NorthPark's Annual Budget

NorthPark has two main administrative teams that are made up of members of our church. The Stewardship team aids in the development of the church’s annual budget, as well as providing financial oversight and accountability throughout the year. The Personnel Team aids in the recommendation of personnel salaries, as well as providing oversight and guidance in other personnel matters throughout the year.

Each year an annual budget is presented to the church for approval. Once approved, that budget becomes our operating budget for the church year, which runs from August to July. If you have questions or need any assistance, please email our Executive Pastor, Stephen Hall, at stephen@nponline.org or our Financial Ministry Assistant, Sharon Terry, at sharon@nponline.org.  Click the button below to view a copy of NorthPark's Annual Budget.
