“Counterculture” – A Stewardship Series on

Faithful Living and Generous Giving

Our world is full of messages about success, security, and status. We’re told to hold tightly, accumulate more, and measure our value by comparison. But what if the way of Christ leads us in a completely different direction?

This Sunday, October 12, we will launch a four-week series called Counterculture — a call to live generously, love deeply, and root our identity not in the world’s expectations, but in God’s transforming grace.

Rooted in the Wesleyan and United Methodist tradition, this series will challenge us to resist the pressures of consumerism and scarcity-thinking. Instead, we’ll explore what it means to be people of compassion, humility, action, and generosity. Each week, we’ll look at scripture that highlights how followers of Jesus are invited to live by a different standard — one shaped by God’s love, not by cultural norms.

At the conclusion of the series on November 2, you’ll be invited to respond by turning in an Estimate of Giving Card for 2026, as an act of prayerful commitment to live more generously in the year ahead, and our Pancake Brunch following worship.

We know that giving is about forming our faith and not just about funding a ministry. And we’re already seeing powerful ways that our congregation is choosing to live counterculturally every day.

Series Highlights:

Week 1: Who Are You?: Transformed, Not Conformed – How God reshapes us from the inside out (Romans 12:1-2)

Week 2: Who Are You Wearing Today: Clothed in Christ – Living with compassion, humility, and love (Colossians 3:12-17)

Week 3: Love in Action – Generosity that’s visible and concrete (1 John 3:16-18)

Week 4: Authentic Loving, Authentic Giving – Giving flows from knowing who we are (Matthew 22 & Genesis 1)
