Stewardship Begins with Prayer
Set aside time to pray about your pledge. Pledge season can bring up feelings from gratitude to anxiety, all of which we bring to God in a spirit of openness. How can you step into God’s future with hope?

Loving God, thank you for the gift of your grace shared in community here at St. Mark’s. Thank you for all those who have shared your love with me in my times of need. Thank you for letting me share your love with others in their need. As I pray in the present, give me peace that the world cannot give. As I pray for the future, help me to respond generously to your love in all of the ways you call me to serve, and, in this pledge campaign call me to give. I ask for your guiding presence as I seek to be a faithful giver. Amen.

What is our Mission?
St. Mark’s is a community dedicated to deepening our relationship with God and embodying the Spirit of Christ through faithful expressions of love, service, compassion, and justice.

How does my Pledge Connect with this Mission?
Pledge donations allow us to live out this mission by gathering for worship, growing in our faith through small groups, youth programs, and forums, providing food and programming for key ministry events, maintaining our buildings and campus, and supporting community-oriented outreach projects.

Our Annual Budget is developed based on pledge donations received during the Annual Pledge Campaign and determines the ministry we are able to program throughout the ministry year.

2026 Summary Draft Budget
Each year prior to the Pledge Campaign, the Treasurer, Staff, Finance Commission, and Vestry contribute to a Draft Budget to share transparently with you as we ask you to make a financial pledge. To see the line-by-line budget, please visit:
