MUC Stewardship Ministries – Mission Statement

To nurture, educate, and equip members of the Malawi Union Conference to live as faithful stewards of all that God has entrusted to them—time, talents, treasures, body, and influence—through the teaching and practice of biblical stewardship principles, fostering spiritual growth, and encouraging a lifestyle of faithfulness, accountability, and joyful service, in preparation for the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(1 Corinthians 4:2; Psalm 24:1; Matthew 25:14–23)

Vision Statement

To see a spiritually revived and mission-driven Malawi Union Conference, where every believer acknowledges God as the rightful Owner, lives responsibly as a trustworthy steward, and reflects the character of Christ through faithful resource management, systematic and generous giving, ethical living, and wholehearted commitment to God’s mission in the church and the wider community.

(Romans 12:1; Luke 16:10–12; Malachi 3:10)
