Beautiful Savior is a biblically grounded community who unites to follow and share the way of Jesus.
2027 Stewardship
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
Deep Roots, New Life
Beautiful Savior enters 2027 from a place of strength. For nearly seventy years, generations of people have worshiped, prayed, taught children, cared for neighbors, invited friends, served generously, and invested in the ministry we now share. Those are our deep roots.
​
Today, God is bringing new life from those roots. More people are worshiping, ministries are growing, new leaders are emerging, and Beautiful Savior is preparing for its next season of mission. During this year of strategic planning, we are praying, listening, and discerning how Jesus is calling us to follow and share his way during the years ahead.
Where We Want Our Hearts to Go
Jesus teaches us: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). Those words turn the way we often think about generosity upside down. We may assume we simply give to the things that already matter to us. Jesus reminds us that the opposite is also true. Our hearts begin to follow where we place our treasure.​
That means Christian generosity is about far more than supporting a budget or meeting the financial needs of a congregation. Giving is one of the ways God forms us. When we intentionally invest what God has entrusted to us in the work of Jesus, we become more deeply invested in that work ourselves. Our hearts grow toward God, toward our neighbors, toward people who are seeking a place to belong, and toward a world that desperately needs the grace and hope of Jesus.
Our individual gifts also become part of something much larger. One gift may seem modest on its own, but when hundreds of people practice generosity supporting a common mission, those gifts make worship possible, nurture faith, build relationships, care for neighbors, equip people for ministry, and create new opportunities to share Jesus’s love. Together, we can accomplish far more than any one of us could accomplish alone.
As Beautiful Savior embraces this year called "Deep Roots, New Life" we are invited to think not only about what we value today, but about the people we hope to become and the ministry we believe God is calling us to strengthen.
This is why we invite every household to prayerfully consider taking another step in generosity. One step from each of us can become a major step forward for all of us.
Perhaps the most important stewardship question is not simply, “How much will I give?” but rather:
“Where do I want my heart to go?”
Then we can place our treasure there—and trust Jesus that our hearts will follow.
New Life Requires Room to Grow
Growth brings opportunity—and it also brings responsibility. The ministries, staffing, leadership, and systems that served Beautiful Savior at one size need to grow as the congregation grows.
​​
In 2027, we are making a significant investment in the congregation Beautiful Savior is becoming. An associate pastor, a more robust staff, expanding ministries, and increased support for the people who worship, learn, connect, serve, and share through Beautiful Savior will give us greater capacity to respond faithfully to the opportunities God is placing before us.
​​
This is not primarily about funding a collection of new projects. It is about strengthening the whole ministry of Beautiful Savior so we welcome more people, develop more leaders, deepen discipleship, care for one another well, and share the good news of Jesus more boldly and effectively
To support this growing ministry in 2027, we are asking for an additional $140,950 in annual giving—about $2711 more each week.
