- Disbursing the funds received for these purposes
- Annually preparing and presenting to the congregation a properly audited statement of all receipts and expenditures, together with a budget of estimated needs for the ensuing year
- Presenting regular financial reports at each Board meeting, generally held once a month
- Overseeing the maintenance and upkeep of the church building and grounds
Stewards serve for a term of three years and may undertake subsequent terms as requested if they so choose.
