2026 GIVING CAMPAIGN
St. Bart's is a generous faith family, recognizing that all we are and all we have comes from God. Our 2026 Giving Campaign kicks off October 11-12. The 2026 campaign theme is Tell Out My Soul—we “tell out our souls” when we share the ideas, challenge, and dreams that God places in our hearts.
Each year we share personal reasons for supporting St. Bart’s mission, ministry, and programs by writing “Why I Give” on a post-it note. These are placed on the sanctuary windows to share our faith and commitment to the future of St. Bart’s. Let’s celebrate and support our mission together.

Recently, it was suggested to me that we change our church slogan from “All are welcome, no exceptions” to “All are invited, no exceptions!” This appealed to me because it says more than we will hold the door open for you. It says we have set a place at our table for you. Which is exactly what Jesus does for all of us. READ MORE

Giving at St. Bart's

Giving is not dues to the church, rather giving is an act of faith and commitment to ensure that the work and ministry of St. Bart’s can continue each year and for generations to come.

LEGACY SOCIETY
St. Bart’s Legacy Society was established for members who wish to make a legacy gift that supports future generations. Everyone who confirms making provisions for a donation to St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in their estate plan becomes a member of the Legacy Society.
While an estate plan determines a destiny for your assets after your passing, making a planned gift to St. Bart’s also communicates your values, wishes, and memories as well as financial support for St. Bart's programs and ministries for generations to come.
