WAYS TO GIVE
One-Time and Recurring Giving
We offer secure online giving through our trusted partner, onRealm, a platform built for faith communities. You can make a one-time gift or set up a recurring donation using your credit card, debit card, or bank account.
Many members find that setting up recurring gifts helps them practice faithful stewardship throughout the year, and it provides the steady, reliable support our parish depends on.
​
Annual Pledge
Your annual pledge is the foundation of everything we do at St. Matthew's. It's what allows us to plan ahead, sustain our ministries, and continue growing as a parish community. Unlike one-time gifts, an ongoing pledge provides the steady support our church depends on throughout the year.
We invite you to prayerfully consider making a pledge on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis. Every commitment, no matter the size, makes a difference.

Stock Donations
There are many ways to support St. Matthew's beyond the weekly offering. In addition to cash and check contributions, the church also accepts gifts of stock or appreciated securities.
Donating stock directly to the church can offer meaningful tax advantages, such as avoiding capital gains taxes on appreciated shares while still receiving a charitable deduction for the full market value. It's a generous way to support our mission while potentially maximizing the impact of your gift.
As with any financial decision, we encourage you to consult with your financial advisor or tax professional to determine the best approach for your personal situation.

Legacy Giving - Quercus Society
​
One of the most meaningful ways to support St. Matthew's is by including the parish in your estate plan. A bequest in your will, a beneficiary designation, or a charitable trust ensures that the worship, ministries, and outreach you value today will continue to bless generations to come.
​
Including St. Matthew's in your estate plan is often simpler than you might expect. Many people choose to designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of their estate, or name the church as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy. As with any estate planning decision, we encourage you to work with your attorney or financial advisor to find the approach that fits your circumstances.
​
If you have already included St. Matthew's in your plan, please let us know — and if you're considering a legacy gift, we welcome that conversation.
