Stewardship Frequently Asked Questions
Episcopal churches are self-funded. St. Paul’s relies on Stewardship pledges to fund nearly 80% of the operations of our church life.
Why are pledges important?
The #1 goal is 100% Participation. Providing the same level of ministry in 2025 is likely to require a 5% increase in overall pledges. New pledges and increases in existing pledges allow St. Paul’s to move forward on firm financial footing.
What is the Pledge Goal for 2025?
A formal pledge allows the Vestry and Finance Committee to prepare a sound, realistic budget.
