The Next Faithful Step 2027

Built on a firm foundation. Called forward together.

“Everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.”
— Matthew 7:24

We are glad to announce our 2027 Stewardship Campaign, The Next Faithful Step.

Our Stewardship Committee has reflected prayerfully on the year and both the challenges and joys we have experienced together. As we continue through this transitional season, we know where we want to be: a parish already in motion, with the year ahead funded and the work well underway. That welcome is ours to prepare, and this is the fall to prepare it. Our vestry has set a pledge goal of $1,125,000 and need your help to meet it.

We are asking each household for one step. For most of us that is five percent above last year, roughly a dollar more a week for every thousand pledged. The guide below shows your step at a glance. New to pledging? Start anywhere. Able to take a larger step? Please take it.

Stewardship Sunday is October 4th That same evening, everyone is invited to our annual Parish Picnic. We hope to see you there!
