Giving Overview
Giving at St. Philip the Deacon.
Generosity is one of our foundational values. Because we recognize the goodness we receive from God, we seek ways to give back and to be Christ to our neighbor. Financial giving is one part of living out that story.
How Your Gift Supports SPD’s Ministry
Financial gifts at St. Philip the Deacon fall into three categories:
Gifts to the General Fund support the daily mission and ministry of the church. Members make annual commitments to the General Fund in the fall each year.
Gifts to our three-year appeals rally the congregation around major ministry vision and mission projects, allow us to faithfully manage our mortgage, and support expansions and improvements to the physical plant and infrastructure of the church when necessary.
Legacy gifts left through estate plans support the immediate and long-term ministry efforts of St. Philip the Deacon. Legacy gifts to the Church support the congregation’s day-to-day ministry, while gifts left to the St. Philip the Deacon Foundation support the congregation in perpetuity. Learn more about how to leave these types of gifts.
