Together. For Good.

Give Now Make A Pledge

“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” – Psalm 133

At Holy Innocents, Together. For Good. captures who we are: people gathered by God, bound in love, and called to share our gifts for one another and the world.

Because of your generosity, our parish is strong. We have invested deeply in children, youth, and young adult ministries. We enjoy a vibrant music program that lifts our worship each week. And we are blessed with staff who bring creativity, dedication, and pastoral care.

Now we are asking you to join us in taking the next faithful step for 2026. Your pledge will allow us to:

  • Add Bilingual & Administrative Support ($62,000) – strengthening ties with our growing Our Lady of Guadalupe congregation and providing a welcoming presence in the office.

  • Support Talented Staff ($28,000) – ensuring fair raises and cost-of-living adjustments for those who guide our ministry.

  • Expand Outreach Giving ($20,000) – increasing our response to neighbors in need through local partnerships.

  • Grow in Hospitality & Evangelism ($5,000) – launching new initiatives so more people may find a spiritual home here.

Every gift matters. When we give, we invest in something bigger than ourselves. Together, each pledge, each act of generosity, becomes part of a shared future of faith, joy, and service.

FAQ

WHAT IS A PLEDGE?

A pledge is your commitment to make a financial gift in support of our mission and ministries. It allows our staff and vestry to plan responsibly. Pledges for 2026 run from January 1 through December 31.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I PLEDGE?

The biblical standard is the tithe—10% of income. Consider proportional giving: choose a percentage that is both spiritually meaningful and financially practical, and aim to increase it over time.

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY PLEDGE?

Return a pledge card by mail or in person. Submit online at holyinnocents.org/give.

CAN I AUTOMATE MY GIVING?

Yes. Through REALM you can schedule gifts weekly, monthly, or quarterly from your bank account or card.

IF YOUR SITUATION CHANGES

Please let us know. We all face seasons of uncertainty, and God desires gifts offered in faith and gratitude—not guilt.

Other Giving Options

Endowment & Planned Giving

Endowment and planned giving are ways to ensure Holy Innocents continued presence and legacy for years to come. These funds empower ministry beyond what is possible through annual operating funds and assist us in meeting the inevitable, and often unforeseen, challenges we might face. The Legacy Circle is a group of people who have chosen to remember the church in their will or with generous gifts during their lives.

If you would like more information on how to give in this way and impact your community for generations to come, please contact Caroline Fleming today.
