Giving and Pledging

We believe that those who make a financial contribution to the church are making a statement about their faith - that they are returning a portion of what God has already provided for them, and that they trust that God and the church will care for them. 

Good Samaritan has an annual stewardship campaign, usually in the fall of each year.  During that time, parishioners have the oportunity to pray about, and make their annual pledge to the church.  Although we place emphasis on pledging during the stewardship campaign, new members can pledge at any time by requesting a pledge card, completing it and returning it to the church.  All contributions made to the church are tax deductible, and those who pledge receive an annual "record of giving."

We also take special offerings at Christmas and Easter.  These offerings usually fund a large portion of our outreach to the larger world.  We help to "feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and provide shelter for the homeless."
