Give to St. Stephen’s
Giving Transforms Us and the World
When we give, we join God in helping to shape a world that is both good and blessed. Giving invites us to reflect on how we use our resources to help make the world a more beautiful and generous place. Giving brings us joy, expands our imaginations, and helps us share hope.
We invite you share your blessings with us. When you click on the GIVE button below, you will be connected to our Tithely digital giving tool. This is a fast and secure way to make a gift to St. Stephen’s and the Vine. We pay a small transaction fee (less than 1%) for each gift — you can choose to cover that fee yourself, so that your entire donation comes to the church.
Giving by Check: Checks must be made out to “St. Stephen’s” or “St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church.” If you have a specific intention for your gift, please indicate that in the Memo line, such as “Food Ministry,” “Pledge,” “Clergy Discretionary Fund.” Checks may be mailed to or dropped off at the office at 33 N. Clay, Ferguson, MO 63135.
We are grateful for your gift!
Ways to Share
When you click on the GIVE button, you will be asked to select one of these funds:
Cheerful Giver – Pledges
Pledges are regularly scheduled gifts.
At St. Stephen’s and the Vine, cheerful givers are members of our church who commit to giving a specific amount each year. Every fall our members make their pledges for giving a specific amount for the upcoming year. In November, we have our in-gathering of pledges to bless all the commitments made through those pledges. This ministry is about the faithfulness of our members to the mission of our church and helps us to construct our budget for the upcoming year.
Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
-2 Corinthians 9:7
Food Ministry
One of the best ways to give at St. Stephen’s and the Vine is to help us feed our neighbors. We often say our faith feeds us and we feed each other. We feed our community by providing groceries twice each week during our food ministry hours. Your gift will help us provide an individual or family with healthy meals.
If you offer food to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness.
– Isaiah 58:10
Altar Flowers
Each Sunday our altar is decorated with a beautiful set of flowers. Many members and friends choose to donate to this ministry to remember important occasions, anniversaries, or people in their lives. Your gift to this ministry helps provide a beautiful piece in worship and helps us remember that moments and memories are sacred.
I will give, in my house and within my walls, a monument and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.
– Isaiah 56:5
