What is a pledge?
It is simply a heart-felt, documented financial commitment to support our remarkable ministries in the year ahead.
Considering your pledge
What to consider as you determine your pledge:
How much should I pledge?
The actual amount, of course, is entirely a personal decision. But, it should be grounded in your faith, love, and commitment to God’s work through Church of the Holy Apostles. Your pledge should not be an afterthought or casual decision. It requires reflection, prayer and priority. Proverbs 3:9 says it best “Honor the Lord with your wealth and the first fruits of all you produce.”
Is my pledge confidential?
Yes. The actual amounts of individual pledges are available to only Church of the Holy Apostles staff who are essential to processing your pledge. These staff are held to the highest standards of confidentiality.

Considering your pledge
What to consider as you determine your pledge:
- Pray. Give it to God. We are members of Church of the Holy Apostles because of our love and commitment to Christ and the Christian life. Ask for God’s help to guide you.
- Your life’s blessings. Your pledge should be given in a sense of gratitude and joy for all we have received in our lives.
- Why is Church of the Holy Apostles special to you? Is it the liturgy, our service to others in the community and the world, or just the pure joy of our fellowship?
- Why is Church of the Holy Apostles not another “charity”? We all give to worthy causes and trust them to do good things. At Church of the Holy Apostles, we know all the great things we do are in God’s name. Your pledge to Church of the Holy Apostles is an affirmation of faith and your commitment to ensure the vitality of our parish.
- Challenge yourself. In the end, pledging is about letting go of our agenda so that we can say yes to God’s agenda for us.
- Every pledge matters. Some people think that Church of the Holy Apostles is funded primarily by a few very generous members of the parish. This is NOT the case – and for that we are blessed. Since every pledge matters, your pledge matters.
