GIVING
At St. Paul's, we believe that everything we have comes to us from God and as good stewards; we are called to give back a portion of God’s gift to us to support the ministry and mission our Church. There are numerous opportunities to give of our time, talents and treasurers, and in this section you will find information to help members and friends of St. Paul’s to be good stewards of God’s gifts.
Giving of your time and talent is an important form of stewardship. St. Paul’s offers many opportunities to give back some of the many blessings that we have received from God. Here are some examples and additional information is available on other pages of this web site.

A financial pledge, separate from the pledge for day to day operational support of the Church, may be made to support St. Paul’s Capital Fund Campaign. This is a multi-phased three year program to: support improvement, repair and additions to the Church’s facilities and physical plant; for restoration of the Church’s organ; to support of the Diocese’s Capital Fund Campaign; and to provide additional support of St. Paul’s Outreach Program.
Planned Giving, Bequests and other financial arrangements such as life insurance policies naming the Church as beneficiary should be made as part of one’s personal financial program and plan.
