Stewardship Campaign
Whether you’ve supported the Saint Mark’s Church for years or are newly discovering its beauty; your participation makes a difference. Last year your gifts transformed lives this year, we invite you to imagine what’s possible when we give joyfully.
Thank you for being part of this growing, generous community
OUR VISION FOR 2026
Continue to grow our church in membership and engagement.
Connect our parishoners to ministries, events and worship
Go out into the community to share God’s love for one another.
Be radically welcoming to all who we encounter.
FORWARD TOGETHER
Robin Dreyfuss, Stewardship Chair outlines the vision and goals for this year’s Stewardship Campaign.
TAKE A STEP UP IN FAITH
We all feel the rising costs of daily life. Saint Mark’s does too. Yet with every challenge comes opportunity. Every new estimate of giving—and every increase—helps us grow our ministries and meet this moment with strength.
If you currently give: prayerfully consider stepping up to meet rising needs.
If you’re new: we welcome your participation in this generous, faithful community.
Together, we can do more than we imagine.
Your Estimate of Giving is a promise to support our mission for one year. It helps your Vestry plan wisely and faithfully. You can adjust it at any time.
GIVE PROPORTIONALLY
The biblical standard is 10%, but every journey starts somewhere. Choose a percentage that is right for your household, and let your generosity grow over time.
MAKE A FAITHFUL PROMISE
Visionary givers ask: “How can God’s abundance flow through me?” They offer their wealth, works, and wisdom in ways that open hearts, build community, and transform lives.
Deepen our sacred arts and contemplative life
DREAM WITH GOD
ABOUT ANNUAL GIVING
We give not simply because the church needs it— but because we do. Giving shapes us. It roots us in trust, opens us to joy, and invites us into a greater story of hope, healing, and transformation. As we offer our gifts in faith, we become part of God’s abundant love flowing through Saint Mark’s Church and into the world.
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF MY INCOME IS GOD CALLING ME TO GIVE?
This is the spiritual question at the heart of Celebration Sunday. Every blessing we receive is an invitation to bless others. Whether you’re making your first estimate of giving or growing in generosity, we invite you to take the next step—joyfully and prayerfully.
WHY WE GIVE
CELEBRATION SUNDAY IS JUNE 14!

A PRAYER FOR SHARING OUR GIFTS
