Imagine a consistent revenue stream to support extraordinary opportunities in your parish...

  • Funds to make camp and other youth programs accessible to more young people in your parish
  • Funds to provide iconography or other enhancements for a new chapel
  • Funds to support expanded or emergency outreach through IOCC or local nonprofits serving your community
  • Funds to provide for your priest thereby reducing the burden on your operating budget
  • Funds to ramp up a new ministry staff member to allow the budget time to absorb the new role
  • Funds to reduce your reliance on festivals and special events

These are only a few examples of ways current parish endowments are serving their communities.

As a parishioner, imagine if you had the opportunity to...

  • Provide an ongoing offering to your parish as a perpetual steward
  • Offer the first fruits of your lifetime wealth to support the generational growth of your parish

What is planned giving?

Planned giving is an opportunity to make an offering from our estate to provide for the future of our parish. This is one of three ways we are called as Orthodox Christian stewards to respond to God’s blessings through our support of His Church. Each mode of giving works in concert with the others to strengthen our ministries and mission.

Annual Giving supports the good works of our parish operations.

Through initiatives for Capital & Special Projects we expand our facilities and programs to strengthen and serve our growing communities.

Planned giving invites us to invest in the future of our parish, leaving a legacy for future generations.
