Walk in Love 2027: A FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE

The impact that every generously gifted dollar has on our parish is great: from the funding of clergy, church staff, outreach, and administration, to building and grounds and parish life, the contributions entrusted to Church of Our Saviour are used prudently, responsibly and gratefully. Your committed financial pledge supports the incredible leaders of our mission and ministries: from worship to music, to adult and youth formation, to outreach and community togetherness, your gift enables us to properly maintain the campus that houses all of these spiritually-uplifting programs. Your clergy, administration, and staff give 110% every day to ensure that your parish runs smoothly, is well-maintained, and is ready to provide the best ministry possible. Every dollar, every volunteer hour, every good idea—they are all needed and are put to the best use possible.

COS’s sources of funding varies, and includes bequests, rental income and revenue from events on campus (such as weddings and recitals). The vast majority of COS’s revenue, however, is generated through your generous pledge and the interest provided from COS’s endowment funds, the Kirk and Keck funds. Pledges at COS are the lifeblood of the Church and are what enables the parish to truly continue its mission.

Just like in our homes, our faithful accountant Anh Nguyen pays light, electricity, water and staff wages each and every month; this enables us to welcome all, keep them cool or warm, and to use kitchen and bathroom facilities. Because the majority of gifts and pledges arrive at the end of the year, early to mid-year cash flow becomes difficult. This is why your monthly pledge contributions are impactful and important.

As the sun begins to set on this campaign season, we invite you to Walk in Love with us into 2027. Pray and discern the ways in which you are unfeignedly thankful for Church of Our Saviour, and make your pledge from that place of gratitude.

We invite you to do one of the most meaningful and generous things you can do for your parish: make a pledge. Pledge payments can be made via personal check, credit card, or ACH straight from your bank account. Also accepted are gifts of appreciated stock, qualified charitable distributions from 401k/IRA accounts, DAFs, or via text-to-give. Your support is essential to the life and ministries of Church of Our Saviour. Thank you for your generosity.
