Each fall, the Annual Pledge Drive asks parishioners to prayerfully consider the abundance of God’s blessings in our lives, and to determine the weekly or monthly amount of each of us as a family will give to the Church during the coming year. When you make your online pledge you are practicing good stewardship.

The Vestry considers our pledges as they prepare a responsible Annual Operating Budget for the year to come. The pledges and plate offerings received each week help fulfill Christ’s ministry at Trinity: to provide wages and benefits for clergy and staff, to support our worship expenses, to keep our sanctuary open, and to sustain our Outreach Ministries.

Five myths of Pledging

 
Reality: The pledge form may be the only document where you annually put pen to paper to declare your support for the ministry of Jesus Christ. From your wholehearted intention to give, the church can create a responsible, balanced budget.
Reality: Every pledge demonstrates an important commitment to the ministries of our church. Pledges represent our best record of contributing members.
Reality: Your pledge lets us know what you plan to give, and that knowledge assists us in budgeting. If your financial situation changes later in the year and you wish to adjust your pledge, just let the Bookkeeper know.
Reality: In order to preserve and grow our endowment, Trinity will use no more than 5% of the endowment in any given year. We choose not to deplete the principle of this fund to meet short-term operating costs.  The Endowment is intended to support Christ’s long-term ministry at Trinity.
Reality: Good stewardship means that all members pledge to contribute faithfully to each year’s ministry budget, and that we create a balanced budget based on these pledge commitments.
