Stewardship
Giving a portion of your time, talent, and treasure back to God is an act of faith and an expression of gratitude. Through stewardship we acknowledge that our life, work, abilities and skill, and the people and places we love are all gifts from God.
As congregants of this inspiring National Cathedral, we are called to be good stewards of this sacred space. Our stength and commitment at the core of the Cathedral provide a solid foundation for people across this nation to act similarly.
A Call to Action
This year’s congregation stewardship campaign, “A Call to Action,” challenges us to make that clear commitment to the Cathedral today. It prompts us to share our blessings with the faithful community that forms the heart of Washington National Cathedral.
Your generosity last year resulted in record-setting support for our ministry, and we must call ourselves to greater action this year. We challenge each of you to contribute toward 100 percent participation in this campaign, and we hope you will consider increasing your pledge by 10 percent.
Please know that your pledge, whatever its measure, will further the ability of your Cathedral to carry out its spiritual mission to this nation.
How Gifts Are Used
Your congregation gifts support the Cathedral in its entirety. Your gift will be used in all areas of the Cathedral’s life, including worship and music, outreach, education, global justice ministries, and community life.
Determining Your Pledge Amount
Christian stewardship is about realizing that all we have is a gift from God and about growing in generosity. We encourage you to consider prayerfully what proportion of your resources you will give to God’s work.
Making my gift
We ask you to make an annual pledge each fall. Gifts made during the next calendar year are credited toward that pledge, and these gifts maybe made online, by recurring credit card charge, or by check in the offering plate.
