Scripture says, “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. For everything on earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom and you are exalted as head over all” (1 Chronicles 29:11). Giving to the church shows our gratitude for the gifts we’ve been given. It provides an opportunity to invest in a community of faith and programs that transform our lives.

Stewardship is about being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God.

The tradition of giving back to God and to the church comes from the Biblical practice of “tithing,” which means to give back a tenth of our earnings to God (Numbers 18:26).

At St. Peter’s, we see stewardship as more than simply contributing money to the church; it’s also about contributing time and talents, and volunteering for ministry and mission. It’s about reaching out to build relationships from a perspective of abundance instead of scarcity.

St. Peter’s is filled with generous hearts. Our work in the community, weekly Sunday worship, parish life, and the maintenance of St. Peter’s itself is only possible thanks through parishioner support. 

By God’s Grace we are all blessed with talent and treasure. Having faith in God inspires us to share our bounty which leads us to Generosity, our reaction to God’s Grace, and ultimately to Joy.

In this spirit we hope during this Stewardship season you will keep St. Peter’s close to your heart and consider a pledge of your own talent and treasure and together we will continue St. Peter’s good works.

Unlike the case with some denominations, we receive no operational support from our Diocese and depend on your gifts for our annual budget. In fact, we rely on voluntary pledges to make up over 80% of our annual revenue. Pledging allows us to make responsible commitments to our clergy and staff and to ensure that we have enough money to maintain our programs and our facilities.

To simplify the pledging process, we have provided some easy links below as guidance.

Pledging Options:
