Stewardship

Stewardship at Big Canoe Chapel

Welcome...

At Big Canoe Chapel, Thanksgiving is perpetual. For all we have–the daily grace, daily mercy, love, forgiveness, peace, comfort and eternal salvation that comes through Christ, we give our thanks every day. Stewardship is our joyful response to God’s abundant gifts. We celebrate the opportunities to give through:

  • Giving our time
  • Using our talents
  • Sharing our finances
A message from Dock Hollingsworth

Dear Friends,

Generosity is a marker of Christian maturity. In a world focused on acquisition and selfishness, the gospel calls us

to be lavish contributors. Generosity is not a specific action, so much as it is a way of life. At Big Canoe Chapel, we aspire to cultivate a culture that celebrates generosity as a central tenet of our faith while we strive to make a real difference for the cause of Christ and his Church.

Generosity extends beyond finances; it is a means of blessing others that goes beyond our checkbook. Of course we want to financially support our mission, but we also want to be generous in our service to the Chapel, generous in volunteering within Big Canoe, generous in supporting our non-profit partners in Pickens and Dawson Counties, and generous with our mission partners around the world. When we care for the needy, offer hope to the hopeless, and engage in service, we join God's great mission of reclaiming the world through love.

Peace,

Dock Hollingsworth

Why I Share

"I’m an ad guy. Or, was for many years. Some would say, a marketing man, a writer, a creative sort. It was a living and I got paid for all that."

I’m an ad guy. Or, was for many years. Some would say, a marketing man, a writer, a creative sort. It was a living and I got paid for all that. But, now, I give ‘all that’ to the Chapel–for Him and His Kingdom. And, I give financially, too. I give expecting nothing in return, but you know what? It comes back anyway. Giving makes me feel good. Productive. For me, it is a blessing, and giving brings me closer to the Father. That’s where I belong. - Brett Carroll

Besides supporting the Chapel financially with our annual pledge, we find much pleasure and returned blessings when we give of our time and talents as well. While serving the Chapel in numerous volunteer capacities, it is amazing to see how the Chapel operates and how important the Stewardship Campaign is to the life of the Chapel - Beth and Brad Herren

Through the Chapel, I serve as Chair of the Benevolence Committee, which directs financial support to local charitable and faith-based organizations. Seeing the world through the eyes of those less fortunate reminds me how blessed I am. I want to honor the Lord and be a part of blessing others. Join me in giving. - Nancy Wiersma

"I give because I have been so blessed by the Lord in many ways. Everything good comes from Him and all my assets and talents are His gifts."

I give because I have been so blessed by the Lord in many ways. Everything good comes from Him and all my assets and talents are His gifts. I remember my Mother telling me in her elder years (probably my age now) that she always tithed even when the funds were tight. She said that she was rewarded many times over and above her gift. She and my step-father were involved in a variety of volunteer activities at their church, and they were an inspiration to me. I love being part of the Prayer Blanket Ministry, Chapel Committees and the Fellowship Sunday School Class. The friends that I have met at the Chapel are priceless treasures. I too have been blessed many times over the gifts and time that I have given to serving the Lord. - Devon Collins
