Supporting St. Paul's Ministries
* St. Paul's budget operates on a pledge system: each fall, members make a financial pledge for the following year, which allows St. Paul's to plan for future ministry. New members may make a pledge at any time of the year.
* St. Paul's expects that every member pledge a proportion of his or her income to the church. When determining your pledge, we recommend the Biblical standard of the tithe; since all our blessings come from God, a portion of our income is given back to God
through the ministry of the church.
* Pledges may be paid by the week, by the month, quarterly, or by the year. Some members, rather than giving money, give securities.
* Pledges cover all costs involved in doing ministry: personnel, programs for spiritual life, upkeep for buildings and grounds, office expenses, insurance, etc.
* Special programs, such as outreach to the community and building for the future, come out of separate, restricted funds.
* Pledges are made at the annual Ingathering on Stewardship Sunday each November.
* After pledges are totaled, the Finance Committee prepares the next year's budget. When costs are higher than pledges, St. Paul's must draw from diminishing reserves, whose purpose is not to support the annual budget.
St. Paul's needs your pledge to continue its ministries.
