Wise Design: Building on a Sure Foundation

“Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 3:10

 

Just imagine: we’ve been given the materials for an enchanted treehouse—a generous, vision-expanding gift intended for expanded mission and new ministries. But without a strong, unwavering foundation—the church’s regular operating budget funded by our faithful annual pledges—this beautiful treehouse cannot stand.

Together, let’s ensure that our essential foundation remains solid, enabling new initiatives to flourish and thrive! By solidifying our foundation, you directly support and promote the real, living ministry of St. George’s.

"The Gift Builds What Is Next. Our Pledges Sustain What Makes It Possible."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

Q: Why do we need annual pledges if the church received a large special gift?

A: The special gift (from the Court sale) is restricted for expanded mission, new ministry initiatives, and long-term endowment funds. It is the "treehouse" above! It cannot be used for daily operating costs. Our annual pledges provide the solid foundation needed to sustain our daily worship, staff, facility maintenance, and ongoing pastoral care.

Q: Can I pledge my time and talents in addition to treasure?

A: Absolutely! Stewardship encompasses our time, talents, prayers, and financial resources. We encourage every parishioner to share their spiritual gifts across our internal church ministries as well as community outreach programs.
