Thank you for considering a financial pledge to St. Mark’s for the 2026 budget year. As we make our way through this appeal, we ask you for three things. We ask that you keep this parish, its parishioners, clergy, and mission, in your prayers. We ask that you consider a generous annual gift to the mission of St. Mark’s. We ask you to help us share our mission of Worship, Connection, Service, and Christian Education that your financial gift makes possible. We are all together baptized into the work of the good news of God that the good news of Jesus brings. We are all together in the work God has called us to do. Your support increases St. Mark’s ability to share with more people the great work we are doing. Thank you for your support.
Faithfully,
The Rev. Patrick J. Miller
Rector
Our 2026 stewardship goal is $1.2 million. To achieve this, we must increase the number of pledging households as well as the average pledge amount. Last year, St. Mark’s received 172 stewardship pledges from our 345 active members and families. In 2026, we aim to increase our total number of pledging households by 20%, adding 34 new pledges, raising total pledges to 206. St. Mark’s also asks all who regularly pledge to prayerfully consider increasing your pledge by 10%. If both increases are met, we will reach our goal for our 2026 stewardship campaign.
Your pledge is a promised total gift over the year of 2026 that helps St. Mark’s continue to grow its mission to love, to learn, to worship, and to serve as a joyful Christian family. St. Mark’s Church relies on the generosity of members and friends to sustain its ministries.
