Pledges & Donations

Your regular gifts maintain and strengthen programs and ministries at our parishes. Periodically, we call upon our members and supporters to sponsor program expansion and capital improvements. Giving is an important part of our outward and visible signs of thanksgiving and service. We need to enjoy our church today and ensure for it's future. Below are some ways to give:

Annual Pledge

The annual pledge is a symbol of thanksgiving to God through the parish to which you are a member.

Plate Offerings

Plate offerings are the funds collected during the services that is beyond the pledge envelopes. They are an important source of income that the Parishes rely on to support their programs and ministries.

Special Gifts

Special gift appeals are made in circumstances where, for example, actual income does not meet budgeted amounts to fund a particular program or project; or where an unexpected need or opportunity presents itself. They can be done as memorials or thanksgivings.

Estate or Planned Gifts

We also hope that you will consider helping the church in prepare for the long term. Planned giving is designed to help people make prayerful estate plans. There are many planned giving vehicles that can result in immediate tax benefits and benefit the church in amounts that you may not have thought possible. For more information on this type of giving, please contact the parish's office.
