Stewardship & giving.

"God loves a cheerful giver." Every offering — small or large — sustains the life of the parish and her works of mercy.

Stewardship

Give thanks. Give back.

The parish runs on the freely-offered tithes of its members. No paid pews; no admission charges; no end-of-year fundraising push. Just the steady offering of grateful hearts.

Suggested offerings

Pick a tier — or set your own

Whatever you give, give it gratefully and on a schedule you can keep. The amount matters less than the rhythm.

What stewards say

I started at twenty dollars a month, twenty years ago. It became thirty. Then a hundred. The proportion grew with my income; the offering grew with my faith.

Γ
George P. Steward since 2005

My wife and I tithe pre-tax. It's the first line item we write. Everything else flows from it.

Α
Anna T. Steward since 2013

The widow's mite is the model. We give what we can; we trust the Lord with the rest.
