God asks us to share our time, talent and treasure. A life of generosity is at the root of Christianity. We encourage you to think about what a meaningful gift would be for you.
When you give to St. Paul’s you help fund our ministry in the community, our worship, and the staff that supports our community as we strive to be God’s hands and feet in the world.
Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support.
St. Paul’s aspires to have our physical property reflect our values: welcome, inclusion, acceptance and belonging. Our parish leadership has identified a project list designed to allow our parish home to extend a sense of these values to everyone. The list includes refurbishing St. Margaret’s Garden, overhauling our 30-year-old elevator, improvements to our well-used kitchen, installing a permanent ramp to enter our worship space, continued restoration of stained glass, updates to the electronics of our pipe organ, updates to our sound systems, renovations to bathrooms, and other items.
Learn More about the CampaignEach year, St. Paul’s asks parishioners to say how much they are going to give the parish over the next year. This is called a pledge. Some parishioners set up a recurring gift online -- this counts as a pledge too! St. Paul’s relies on parishioners to make a pledge or a recurring gift so that we can keep the lights on, celebrate the Eucharist, work with our community partners, pay staff, and run all the programming that the parish depends on. Your pledge or recurring gift keeps St. Paul’s running.
