At PVPC, we work endlessly to create a church culture committed to generosity.   Our generous God has called us to be generous with all that we have, recognizing that everything we have is a gift from Him.  Stewardship is not just about money.  Stewardship is also about our time, our talents, our treasures and our relationships.  

Living is giving.  This is the first principle for giving.  We live life best as we give our strengths, gifts, and competencies in the service of God's mission.  We are called to serve, not survive.  Our giving makes a difference in our families, our work, our community, our world, and our church.

We want our lives to count.  We want to make a difference.  We do not want to spend and waste our lives in flimsy, foolish ways.  We want the confidence that we are living for a cause that counts.   Our lives count best when we direct them to the mission of God.

The mission of God is eternal.  Civilizations rise and fall, empires come and go, new beginnings emerge--but the mission of God goes on forever... the possibilities for mission are extraordinary. 

Mission is more important than money.  This does not diminish, depreciate, nor deny the value of money.  Money is important.  It is a means by which a portion of God's mission is advanced. Gaining a constructive perspective invites understanding the relationship between mission and money.  It is important to keep and appropriate balance between the two.  And it is crucial to never let money become more important than mission.
