The New Mexico Conference Methodist Foundation believes fully and obediently the teaching of Jesus
regarding effective stewardship of the resources God provides. The Foundation understands its mission to
emerge from those teachings, grounds its ministry in those teachings, and makes practical those teachings
through its services. The Foundation’s fundamental calling is to provide visionary and innovative
leadership in Christian stewardship and to demonstrate in both word and deed the connection between
faith and money. These four principles guide the Foundation’s planning, teaching, investing, consultation
and evaluation:
• To serve creatively the congregations, institutions, individuals and families of the New Mexico
Conference;
• To lead by example in demonstrating faithful Christian stewardship;
• To maintain accuracy and accountability in all records; and
• To operate with the utmost integrity in all ways.
