Orthodox Christian Stewardship is a way of life, which acknowledges accountability, reverence, and responsibility before God. A primary goal of Stewardship is to promote spiritual growth and strengthen faith. Becoming a Steward begins when we believe in God, to whom we give our love, loyalty, and trust, and act on those beliefs. As Stewards, we affirm that every aspect of our lives comes as a gift from Him. Stewardship calls on the faithful to cheerfully offer back to God a portion of the gifts with which they have been blessed.

Oftentimes, people believe that if they attend Mass at a particular parish, they automatically belong. And while we all belong to God’s holy Church, we as a parish community want to get to know who you are.

By registering in our parish, you officially join the Sts George & Demetrios parish community. Membership requires signing up and formally enrolling yourself (and your children) in our parish. Registration is a commitment to a community and a way to be included in the religious, social, and ministerial activities of St George & Demetrios Church.

An Orthodox Christian Steward is an active participant in the life of the Church. The parish encourages all who accept the Orthodox Faith to become practicing Stewards. Each year the Steward is expected to carefully review his or her personal circumstances and make a commitment of time, talent, and treasure to support the Parish and her Ministries, which in turn support the National Ministries of our Archdiocese, Metropolises, and institutions.

The religious, moral, and social duties of parishioners at the Sts George & Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church are to apply the tenets of the Orthodox Faith to their life and to accomplish the following in faith:

• One must adhere to and live according to the tenets of the Orthodox Faith.
• Faithfully attend the Divine Liturgy and other worship services. Participate regularly in the Holy Sacraments.
• Respect all ecclesiastical authority and all governing bodies of the Church and be obedient in matters of faith, practice, and ecclesiastical order.
• Contribute towards the progress of the Church’s sacred mission.
• Be an effective witness and example of the Orthodox Faith and Traditions to all people.
• Registration shows you belong. It is a statement of faith and confidence in the work of your parish.
