In response to the grace and calling of God, the Seventh-day Adventist Church exists to fulfill the commission of Jesus by experiencing and sharing the good news of salvation. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, our church will be characterised by spirituality, teamwork, ministry, nurturing and accountability.
Christians are God’s stewards, entrusted with His resources and, as His partners, are responsible to manage them in harmony with His guidelines and principles. The divine counsel is that, as His stewards, we are to “be found faithful” (1 Cor. 4:2 NKJV). Stewardship concerns the entire Church family and involves our recognition of the sovereignty of God, His ownership of all things, and the bestowal of His grace upon our hearts. — Church Manual Ch.11 (Revisions). Good stewardship of our limited financial resources is vitally important. It
is dependent on neat and accurate accounting records, founded on consistent ‘best practice’ principles and rules.
It has been a longstanding determination of the North New South Wales Conference to provide comprehensive support services to all of the local churches it cares for. The Local Church Support Services Department was established primarily to provide support, resources, guidance and training to Local Church Treasury Teams. It is the sincere desire of all conference Treasury personnel to help improve local church functionality so that a stronger, more vibrant financial structure will protect church assets, and contribute directly to the mission of the church.
