Stewardship
What Is Stewardship?
God calls us to be responsible stewards of our time, talents and financial resources, all of which are critical to the worship, education, mission and fellowship at our church. We ask every church member to make a financial commitment to the work of Westminster – a pledge – that is a disciplined portion of your income, with a goal of tithing at 10%. Your pledges enable Westminster to efficiently and responsibly plan and budget for the church’s needs, both current and future, and continue as a welcoming, nurturing and spiritual church home.
If you are not currently pledging or are a new member, now is the time to consider doing so. Pledging reflects a deep commitment to the values and mission of the church, strengthening the faith community and allowing it to thrive. Giving to our church is a way to express gratitude to God and contribute to the well-being of the congregation and the broader community.
If you are already pledging, increasing your pledge contribution by 5% will support the church's daily work, from worship and fellowship to pastoral care and community outreach. Your generous pledge will ensure that our faith community continues to thrive and strengthen the bonds that unite us as a congregation.
Pledging for 2025
We encourage you to consider using online giving to fulfill your pledge! You can set up recurring online gifts in Realm Connect or through our online giving form.
The stewardship campaign is intended to raise enough pledges to fund our annual operating budget. Through our Planned Giving Program, the Westminster Foundation is intended to complement the operating budget by providing the church with funding to meet additional long-term needs.
We encourage you to contact the Stewardship Committee, led by elders Vince Crisler and Chad Horrell, if you have any questions!
