Why Give? 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.


Give Now

Pledging is a covenant made to contribute a certain amount of money over a period of time. Our stewardship campaign is asking parishioners to let us know what they will be able to contribute to St. Paul's in 2023 so that we can plan for our mission and ministry in the coming year. As a member of our community, we invite you to participate in our annual stewardship campaign through your personal financial pledge.
