Stewardship is an invitation to invest yourself through the resources God has given you — your time, your gifts and your money — into this amazing work of transformation to which God has called St. Peter’s. Stewardship is an invitation to grow deeper in your relationship with God and is an act of gratitude and trust in God.

A pledge is your commitment to make a financial gift that supports the mission of St. Peter’s.

Pledges are the primary source of income that allows our ministry to flourish and is used to plan the yearly budget. Pledging supports everything we do at St. Peter’s including paying clergy, supporting our outreach ministries and making possible our liturgical, education and music offerings.

Sunday loose plate collections amount to only 2% of our annual budgeted revenue. Annual pledges currently make up 80% of our income. The remainder of the budget is funded by distributions from our endowment, non-recurring parishioner gifts and other miscellaneous sources. St. Peter’s does not receive funds from the Diocese of Massachusetts or other outside sources.

St. Peter’s holds its annual Stewardship campaign between October and November. During this period, the members of St. Peter’s are asked to make their annual pledges for the coming year to allow us to budget appropriately for the coming year. Pledges are also welcome throughout the year.

The actual payment of the pledge can be made at the time of the pledge, in a lump sum in the coming year or through installments throughout the year.

This is a very personal decision. Some members tithe, giving ten percent of their income to the church, while others commit a certain percentage, make a one-time annual gift or give as they are able monthly or weekly. The act of pledging your support is even more important than the amount you give.

Pledge cards are mailed to congregation members each fall; pledge cards are also available at the church office or you can download one HERE. Completed pledge cards can be mailed to St. Peter’s or dropped off at the church office. You can also pledge ONLINE.
