Donations, Pledges, and Gifts
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
II Corinthians 9 : 7
STEWARDSHIP 2027
Presence
For 2027, we have outlined a budget that reflects our commitment to growing deeper spiritually, widening opportunities for service, and strengthening community connections so that our presence in the community is a blessing and so that everyone may know that their presence is a blessing.
Gratitude
Generosity flows when we begin with praise for what God has done for us through Christ, recognize what past members of this community have done to build St. Barnabas, and celebrate the role this community plays in our practice of faith. For what do you give thanks? Does your monthly budget reflect what you are thankful for?
Belonging
The world around us provokes anxiety and tempts us to find our identity in a tribe of like-minded individuals, a certain conception of our nation, or materialistic indicators of success. Our message is one of hope. We belong to the family of God; God’s people have always overcome adversity. We belong to the body of Christ, dead and risen; we have no cause to fear. We belong to a specific Christian community; St. Barnabas supports our life of faith, allows us to live in the light of this good news, and helps us be the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus in the world.
ONLINE GIVING
St. Barnabas uses Realm for online giving. We welcome gifts to cover expenses for outreach programs such as the Food Market, music and just about anything you would like. For more information on donating altar flowers, please see the ministries page.
