Stewardship 2026
As we continue to grow and expand together in faith and community here at St. Jude's, we are consistently reminded of the incredible generosity that sustains our mission. Your faithful commitment of time, talent, and treasure is the bedrock upon which our ministry thrives, allowing us to serve God and our community. We are truly grateful for your ongoing partnership in this vital work.
2026 Annual Stewardship Campaign
Our traditional 2026 Annual Stewardship Campaign centers on the St. Jude's Operating Budget, which supports the daily workings of our church - from staff and essential programs to the resources that serve and uplift our congregation and community. This faithful commitment is the heartbeat of St. Jude's, sustaining the ministries that touch countless lives every day.
Capital Fund Campaign
Our ongoing Capital Fund Campaign is a vital initiative that goes beyond regular pledges, helping us prepare for major projects that ensure our church remains a safe, welcoming, and well-maintained space for all. One significant need on the horizon is a roof replacement, estimated to cost $180,000 within the next three years. Additional future priorities may include upgrades and improvements to the church facility and property.
Pledge your gift today
We have long recognized that managing multiple appeals-for annual operating expenses, specific capital projects, and legacy gifts-can be confusing and even tiresome. We are bringing these efforts together in 2026 via a more holistic approach, to support our total mission-from daily ministry to long-term needs.
This integrated approach is not just about fundraising; it is about cultivating a deeper culture of generosity rooted in faith. This is an invitation for all of us to prayerfully consider how we can best support St. Jude's present ministries while also investing in the future of our parish.
In the coming weeks, you will learn more about our plans and goals. We will also be hosting small group informational sessions to share more details with you, as well as get your feedback and ideas.
We all know how generous our congregation can be when asked to step up and provide financial support. This approach will also allow individuals and families to better plan for balancing St. Jude's needs and their personal commitments.
Legacy Campaign
Our new Legacy Campaign is designed to make giving to St. Jude's simple and meaningful through bequests or gifts from a will, trust, or estate. These lasting contributions will help secure the long-term financial health of our church and sustain the ministries that serve our community for generations to come.
