Changing the Future
GOD'S LOVE FLOWS THROUGH OUR GENEROSITY.
When we are rooted in generosity, God can accomplish great things. As a people of prayer and action, Christ Church Cathedral has a bold vision to build a living legacy for years to come.
Beginning in 2024, Christ Church Cathedral will extend God’s love in 3 amazing ways:
OUR VISION FOR 2024
-
EXPAND the Cathedral Cupboard partnership with The Nest to help provide supplies to high-need children and adults.
-
BUILD a team of specially trained parishioners to regularly visit with people in times of grief, loss, and illness.
-
CREATE a downtown youth ministry with neighboring churches to form character and faith in our students which will sustain them for their entire lives.
BECOME A SUSTAINING MEMBER
God blesses us with financial resources for extending God’s love both inside and beyond our walls. Sharing our God-given gifts by making a first time annual gift or increasing your annual gift can build a living legacy that can change everything.
ABOUT ANNUAL GIVING
HOW DOES MY ANNUAL GIFT WORK?
Annual Giving supports all of our yearly mission and ministries, including children and youth, music, worship, art, creating community, and caring for others both inside and outside the church.
IF I CAN'T GIVE A LARGE GIFT,
DOES MY GIFT REALLY MATTER?
Absolutely! All gifts matter, regardless of size.
As we all participate according to our ability,
God will multiply our giving.
THE IMPACT OF YOUR GIFT IN 2024:
-
Provide essentials to those in acute need
-
Visit and care for our church family
-
Expand a high-impact youth program

Extend God’s love to our neighbors

WILL YOU TAKE A STEP UP?
Every new pledge and pledge increase allows us to build up this community to make a difference in the world. We ask that you prayerfully consider taking a generous step with your 2024 pledge.
1
MAKE A PLEDGE
A pledge is a promise to give a specific amount during the year. Pledges assist the Vestry to more accurately estimate the resources that will be available for the ministry of the parish in a giving year. Pledges may be increased or decreased during the course of the year due to changes in circumstances.
2
BE A VISIONARY GIVER
Visionary givers think about how God’s gifts can be generously shared to love and serve others. A visionary giver’s dream is to allow God’s love to flow through them as they ask each day how they can share their wealth, works, and wisdom to accomplish that.
Gracious God, we pray for the work of our Cathedral. In this season of intention and focus on the gifts that we give, inspire us to be generous with our wealth, works, and wisdom. May we be rooted and grounded in the generosity of God’s love. Amen.
