Stewardship is an answer to Jesus’ call to “follow me.” Stewardship is founded in love. Love for God and love for one another. We live in a society that tells us to define ourselves by what we own, buy, and consume. However the earth and all that is in it is the Lord’s. We at Zion enjoy participating in the local ecumenical ministerium where gifts of food and money blended with other local congregations provide help to those in need in the area. Our gifts are used where needed to support our congregational expenses and needs. We have a responsibility to maintain the church, support our pastor and staff, and provide supplies and resources for our ministries. Also, our association with and commitment to the NJ Synod and Evangelical Lutheran Church of America enables us to assist in national and global needs.
