Stewardship
Supporting Our Ministries Through Giving
In order to provide a spiritual home for our community, and to serve those around us, we ask our members to make a financial pledge for the upcoming year. We do not suggest a specific amount to pledge, though scripture sets 10% of one's income as the goal. Knowing how much income we can expect allows our vestry to approve a realistic and balanced budget. If you would like to PLEDGE, you can do so HERE. Pledge payments can be mailed to the church office, or made online for one-time or recurring gifts HERE.
What is Stewardship?
To belong to our congregation is to be a steward. Some may say that “stewardship” is just a polite way of referring to financial giving to the church. But it’s far more than that. As stewards, we are all responsible for St. Margaret's and are accountable to God. So it is, said Jesus, between God and us.

Planned Giving
For generations, St. Margaret’s has been transforming lives by working at the intersection of community, spirituality, peace and justice. How has St. Margaret’s changed your life? From the children’s ministry to the music programs, from pastoral care to our calls for justice and action, are there ways St. Margaret’s has changed you? We invite you to give a planned gift to St. Margaret’s so the love of God can continue to transform lives for generations to come.
Gifts can be directed to where it is most needed at the time, the Ministries & Facilities Permanent Endowment or the Fred Swann Music Permanent Endowment.
The Legacy Society
The Legacy Society recognizes all who indicate they made St. Margaret’s part of their legacy through a planned gift. Gifts can be in any amount, revocable or irrevocable, using a variety of gift options. Members of the Legacy Society are listed on a special recognition display in the Narthex.
