Stewardship

Stewardship is a lifestyle in which we express our worship of God by cheerfully sharing our time, talents, and resources with all those around us. As we do that, we live out the mission of St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church - to bring the hope, love, and comfort of Jesus Christ to the world. The effectiveness of that mission is dependent on your generosity. The St. Gregory’s leadership team, called the “Vestry” would like to humbly ask for your financial support for the programs and ministries of our church for the coming year. To that end, we ask the friends and family of St. Gregory’s to make a pledge to our common mission.

What is a pledge, and how much should I pledge?  A pledge is a financial commitment to support the ministries of our church. It is not a binding contract.  Circumstances change – and pledges may be revised up or down depending on your situation. God’s call for us is to share the gospel with grateful hearts, and the church can only plan future ministries by operating on a budget.  Your pledge is the primary basis for what we can accomplish as a church, and makes it possible for our church to create a budget for our staffing, ministries, programs and outreach for the coming year.  As we seek God`s will each year in our campaign, we cannot help but reflect upon the phrase “in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.” Just as everyone has a different financial situation, the amount of your pledge is an individual decision which is unique to reflect your own life situation and sense of commitment to the church, with the goal of the ‘tithe’; 10% of your annual salary. Pledges of any amount are welcome and necessary for us to continue to spread the Gospel through our ministries. Please know that all pledges are kept extremely confidential here at St. Gregory’s. Our Vestry pledges to be good stewards of God’s gifts and your financial gifts, taking great care in how we manage and track the resources entrusted to us. Please be assured of our gratitude for your generosity and our commitment to pray for you daily. Please click here to complete an online pledge card.
