A financial pledge is an act of faith, a gift of thanks, returning to God a portion of what God gives us. All that we are and all that we have comes from God. Our giving is a form of prayer where we return a proportion of the blessings God has given us as a reflection of our love for God, our commitment to God’s work at St. Martin’s, and faith in our future together.
- With our collective pledge commitments, St. Martin’s is able to conduct joyful worship, present dynamic programs, and support outreach ministries that enrich and transform lives.
- We offer expanding children’s and youth programs, adult education, small group activities, and community fellowship that allow St. Martin’s to grow in Christ’s love and in faith.
- In faith, St. Martin’s does Christ’s work in our community and world. We help feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, shelter the homeless, provide assistance and supplies to those in need, strengthen the afflicted, and build safer homes for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Each year, St. Martin’s asks the parish family to prayerfully consider our financial responsibility and our pledge, remembering that all we have been given is due to God’s loving grace and that we have much work to do. More than 80 percent of St. Martin’s operating budget is dependent on parishioner pledges. Your pledge helps us plan for the coming year and ensures that the church's operations continue without interruption.
In gratitude - The Rev. Joshua Rodriguez-Hobbs, Interim Rector
