Pledging Q & A

What’s a pledge?

• A pledge is an estimate of your total annual giving to support our mission and ministry in the coming year

• It is also the spiritual practice of expressing gratitude to God

Why do you need my commitment now?

The fall pledge campaign enables the creation of the following year’s operating budget, ensuring we can:

• Support our vital progamming with supplies and staffing

• Keep up on our utilities and maintain our beautiful campus

I can’t give much. Does my pledge really make a difference?

Yes! While we are allowed to use the interest earnings of our restricted endowments for some ongoing costs, our parish relies heavily on pledges to cover our operating expenses. Whether you can give a little or a lot, every dollar is needed.

How do I decide how much to give?

• Prayerfully consider how your household might stretch a bit to contribute more next year

• Some of you might decide to take on the spiritual practice of tithing (10% of your income)

• 2026 gifts ranged from $200 to $24,000, and were paid in monthly, quarterly or annual installments

How do I submit my pledge?

• Bring your card to the Ingathering on Nov. 15, and

• Submit online above!
