2027 Stewardship Campaign Update | “A House of Prayer for All People”
The Vestry and Stewardship Committee share their heartfelt thanks to everyone who has pledged to Saint Andrew’s 2027 Stewardship Campaign. We are beyond grateful for your generosity and encouraged by the progress we are making together.
Progress Since Last Week:
Pledges received, increased from 15 to 25
Total pledged, increased from $201,520 to $256,848
Additional commitments, $55,328
Progress toward our $400,000 goal, increased from 50.4% to 64.2%
Current Campaign Figures:
25 pledges totaling $256,848
21 returning pledgers have pledged again this year.
Of these, 10 have increased their pledges, 9 have maintained the same commitment, and 2 have reduced their pledges.
These 21 households have pledged a combined $248,868 this year, compared with $242,568 from those same households last year, an increase of $6,300, or approximately 2.6%.
4 new pledgers have contributed an additional $7,980 to this year's campaign.
The median pledge is $4,800; the average is approximately $10,274, reflecting the impact of a few especially generous pledges.
We have now reached approximately 64% of our $400,000 goal, with $143,152 remaining! These funds will support the parish's operating expenses, ministries, and community outreach in 2027.
As the Vestry prepares next year's budget, with an anticipated $400,000 in expenses, we invite everyone who intends to pledge to do so as soon as possible. If you have not pledged in the past, we warmly encourage you to prayerfully consider doing so. Every pledge of any size goes a very long way to make our life together possible.
