Stewardship Operations is charged with making wise use of all of the material resources of Saltwater Church.  We take care of our buildings and grounds (Facilities Team).  We oversee day to day financial functions as well as longer term tasks such as development of the annual budget (Finance Team).  Fundraising Team plans and carries out events that raise money and also build community.  Pledge Team plans and carries out the annual drive, working to ensure every Saltwater Church member has an opportunity to learn where the money goes, what our sources of income are, and how our pledges support our programs.  The Endowment Fund Team makes investment decisions for our long-term funds.  

Stewardship is far from a dry, dull exercise.  All five teams which comprise Stewardship Operations have volunteers who are passionate about Saltwater Church in one way or another, whether creating and maintaining beautiful grounds, keeping our aging buildings in good repair, thinking up innovative and fun fundraising events, being frugal about how we spend members’ hard-earned money, communicating the joy of giving, or managing our long-term investments.
