St. Paul Lutheran Church
Stewardship at St. Paul
“They are like trees planted by streams of water, which will yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves will never wither.” Psalm 1:3
We believe stewardship is primarily an act of praise and thanksgiving. While the breadth of our ministry is dependent on the generosity of our donors, our offerings are given in faithful response to the love and grace of God. During each worship service, we offer our response to the gifts that God has given us. Our offerings are used to support our mission and outreach, our worship life, our educational ministries and all programs of the church.
Annual Stewardship Campaign
Our annual stewardship campaign is conducted in October and November, culminating in Commitment Sunday prior to Thanksgiving. At this time pledges may be submitted by using the pledge form mailed to you or by picking up a blank form from the church office or during worship on Commitment Sunday.
Our campaign supports our mission and ministries The members of St. Paul have a long history of faithful benevolence, and we thank those – past, present and future – who have been so generous with their gifts.

We also support missions and ministeries of the ELCA and local charitable organizations.
