財産管理


Explanation:
I think here it looks like they are talking about responsible use of church resources, (though "財産管理" might be put too much emphasis on finances).

Reference: I Corinthians 4:1,2

Reference information:
Use/adapt the same word for ‘steward’ as is found in I Cor. 4 verses 1 and 2 in the Japanese Bible translation that you think most suitable for the target audience. The reference is to Godʼs commands to Adam and Eve in Genesis 2 to replenish the earth and subdue it (i.e., controlling and managing its resources in Godʼs Name), although the word ‘steward’ is not found there but only in Paulʼs epistles in the New Testament.
