Financial Stewardship at South Barrington

Biblical Stewardship is the understanding that God owns it all, and it is our responsibility to manage the time, talents, and treasures that He has placed in our care to bring Him the most glory. Luke 16:11 says, “So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” Our desire is to teach people how to better manage the resources placed in their care so that they can experience true riches. Whether you are struggling to keep up with bills or have margin in your finances, we are here to walk with you on your journey in learning to manage His stuff better.
