Annual Giving Campaign

Annual Giving Campaign

Like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5

Each of us is asked to make an annual commitment to support the year-round mission and ministry at St. Christopher’s. As you consider your gift, please ask yourself:

    • How does my commitment reflect gratitude for abundance that I experience at St. Christopher’s and in my daily life?
    • How does my commitment to St. Christopher’s reflect the relationship I would hope to have with money?
    • Of all the gifts I have received my income and the wealth God has granted me, what proportion will I give to support God’s Kingdom here at St. Christopher’s?
    • How will fulfilling my commitment be a part of my spiritual practice for the coming year?
    • Does my decision about committing provide me with a sense of gratitude?

Frequently Asked Questions About the Annual Giving Campaign

Why should I make a commitment?
Making a commitment helps our leadership team and staff plan for the year ahead. Making a gift is part of a larger spiritual practice of giving your time, talent and financial resources. Giving is making a statement that you are a part of this faith community.

Do I have to pay my commitment all at once?
No. Many people fulfill their commitment weekly, monthly or quarterly. Some use offering envelopes or set up a regular payment schedule by credit card.
