WHY GIVE?

In 2 Corinthians 8 Paul writes, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” Our salvation is a gift. It is the generous gift of the eternal God, who gave himself that we might live. In chapter 9, Paul describes this as the “surpassing grace” of God that brings forth generosity among God’s people.

We give generously because we have been given generously – the most extravagant gift of all, which is the life of God himself.

WAYS YOU CAN GIVE

Give by mail.

Make checks payable to Holy Trinity Church of Raleigh and mail to:

Donate using your bank’s online bill pay service. Simply set us up as a vendor or payee on your bank’s platform. We appreciate this method because the church does not pay any fees to accept payment.

Give during the church service.

There is time set aside during the morning services to offer up our tithes and offerings to the Lord as an act of worship.

Give online.

While checks or giving through your online bank bill payment platform are the preferred giving methods because the church incurs the least amount in fees, we welcome online gifts.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE MONEY YOU GIVE?

We take financial stewardship very seriously and spend several months each year planning how to invest God’s resources appropriately. Ten percent of our income is set aside for local, national and global outreach projects. The remaining budget covers salaries and benefits, worship services, building maintenance, adult, young adult and children’s programs, clergy training and church-sponsored Bible studies, as well as other theological and evangelistic programming.

The finance committee and vestry regularly review our finances and budget, and the church is audited annually by Maddison and Caison, LLP. During the annual meeting each spring, we communicate the approved budget to our church family.

For more information about our budget, access our most recent stewardship brochure.

 

NEED A QUICK CHECK IN ON YOUR PLEDGE?

Please call Anne Thompson at 919-833-4202 or e-mail Anne with any questions or requests for more information about church giving or finances.

MAKE A PLEDGE

Every fall, we offer a general stewardship pledge campaign. Pledges help us project the amount of income for the following year and enable us to assess whether we can afford to undertake new initiatives and/or hire new staff. Pledges are also important as they help each household prayerfully decide how much it plans to invest in kingdom work for the next fiscal year (January-December). To make a pledge, please complete our brief form below.
