Join us for Commitment Sunday on October 26!
Generosity 2026
What happens when a family finds a place where everyone — parents, kids, and step-parents — can grow in faith together? For Nikki, that place is St. Luke’s, and her story captures the heart of what it means to give for the common good.
Here are some common questions about what pledging means at St. Luke’s and how you can participate.
A pledge is your personal commitment to give a specific amount of money to support St. Luke’s ministries and operations during the coming year. It’s not a contract but a promise made in faith.
Pledges allow the church to create a responsible budget. Just like a household, St. Luke’s needs to know what resources will be available to plan for worship, ministries, outreach, staff, and facilities.
A pledge is a planned commitment, while regular gifts may be spontaneous. Most people fulfill their pledge by making regular weekly or monthly contributions.
You can make your pledge online, by filling out a pledge card and returning it to the office, or by contacting the Finance Office directly to help you set up your pledge.

You can pay your pledge in whatever schedule works best for you—weekly, monthly, quarterly, or even in a single payment. Many people choose to give in installments, so their pledge fits comfortably into their household budget.
Your pledge can be fulfilled in several ways.
• With a check mailed to St. Luke’s or put in the offering during weekly worship
• With cash placed in an envelope (please include your name) and put in the offering during worship
• By automatic bank draft (ACH) or credit card set up here
• Gifts of stock, securities, or qualified charitable distributions
Yes! A pledge is a faith commitment, not a legal obligation. If your financial situation changes, you may call us to increase, decrease, or adjust your pledge at any time.
Absolutely. Close to 70% of St. Luke’s annual operating budget comes from pledged gifts. Your commitment helps ensure stability and growth.
Every pledge matters. The strength of our church comes from all of us giving together—no matter the size of the gift.
Pledged gifts support worship, children and youth ministries, outreach and missions, music, pastoral care, facilities, and staff salaries—all the ministries that make St. Luke’s thrive.
You’re always welcome to give at any time. But by pledging, you help the church plan responsibly and participate in a collective expression of commitment to our shared mission.
We appreciate everyone's commitment to ongoing ministry strength. The best way to strengthen the ministries of St. Luke's is with a pledge to the Operating Budget. Second Mile pledges are accepted to Friends of Music or The Garden Community Youth Center.
No, your automatic, recurring payment is only managed by you. The church does not have the authority to update that on your behalf without your written permission. If you would like us to update your giving schedule for you, please reach out to Melissa Labukas.
A Note from our Chairs
Dear St. Luke’s Family,
Sami and I are honored to serve as your Generosity Chairs. In 1 Corinthians 12:7, Paul writes that “A demonstration of the spirit is given to each person for the common good.” This reminds us that the Holy Spirit blessed each of us with gifts meant to help our church flourish.
Think of our church community as a mosaic. Each member brings their own unique colors and shapes, and together, we form a beautiful work of art reflecting God’s love and grace. Just as a mosaic is incomplete without every piece, St. Luke’s mission and vision grows stronger when each of us participates.
Your contributions are vital to building and sustaining the church we aspire to be. Every gift, no matter the size, adds to the mosaic of our church life. We invite you to prayerfully consider your annual pledge commitment, and if you are able, increasing your gift.
Thank you for your faith, generosity, and commitment. We are excited to see how God will use our collective gifts for the common good.
With love and gratitude,
Sami and Jud Morrison
