What is a Pledge?

A pledge is an estimate of giving; some call it a statement of intent. Your pledge amount may be changed, increased or decreased during the year, at any time as your financial circumstances change. 

Why should I pledge?

Pledging allows you to make intentional decisions about your financial giving. When you plan ahead for your giving, you make conscious choices about spending your money in ways that reflect your faith and values. 

The Vestry sets a budget based on the total amount pledged to the church. Receiving your pledge allows our Vestry, the church’s governing board, to do for our parish community what you do for your household: plan wisely for the use of our resources in support of the mission and ministry to which God has called us. While plate offerings are important to the parish, your pledge lets the Vestry plan more accurately for the ministry we can accomplish.

How do I pledge? 

While our annual giving campaign is held in the fall, pledges may be made at any time by downloading and completing a pledge card or pledging online. 

How do I pay my pledge? 

You may pay weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly via cash, checks, your bank’s BillPay, or electronic fund transfer (EFT). You may also pay your pledge with a donation of stock. Many companies have matching funds for charitable donations. If your company has such a plan, please let us know.
