Giving 101

The generosity of our parish community enables St. Chrysostom’s to continue to grow as a welcoming place of worship and service. Your gifts sustain the inspiring worship and music offered each Sunday, children’s programs, fellowship opportunities and our outreach into the wider community through our many ministries.  

While we have a small endowment fund, the vast majority of our operating budget comes from annual contributions, gifts and pledges. Every crayon in the Sunday School, every choir robe, every new computer for our Sunday live stream, every salary, roof patch, and kitchen sponge is dependent upon the generosity of our parish. 

Worship feeds our souls so that we can go into the world proclaiming Christ. Our physical plant is the launch pad for every one of our ministries. Just as we were given resources by the generation before us, it is our responsibility to pass them along in good condition to the generation after us. The health of our community begins with the health of our balance sheet. Your deep generosity makes our mission possible.  

— The Rev. Dr. Ian Burch, Rector
