Pledge for 2026

Growing Together in God’s Love

“We cannot let our minds go numb to the miraculous nature of what is happening here on Chestnut Hill Avenue: St. Paul’s is at a stronger place as an institution than it has been for some time now. That kind of growth and health is rare in the Episcopal church where most of our churches are declining in attendance or dwindling in ministries. At St. Paul’s in the midst of it all, improbably, we are growing together in God’s love.”

Many people have shared with me that they can feel the momentum of this time and that they feel that “St. Paul’s is back.” In recent months this momentum has been manifest in many ways!

St. Paul’s, we need your help to keep this momentum going! We have set a goal of $800,000 for our annual giving campaign this year. That is the amount that we need to keep our current level of staffing and operations. The vestry has also set the goals of increasing the hours for our new development director and expanding her role to include communications, upholding our commitments to our outreach partners and exploring new ways to expand our outreach to our neighbors who are nearby, providing more spaces on our campus for our burgeoning youth group to use, and outfitting our campus to increase our welcoming presence in the community.

This pledge is made in recognition of God’s abundant generosity and to help grow St. Paul’s community and ministries in 2026.

If you wish to increase a pledge that you previously submitted, please make an additional pledge in the amount of the increase.
