"All things come of thee, O Lord, and of thine own have we given thee."
With these familiar words we acknowledge that all we have in the way of materials, goods and talents are gifts from God. Stewardship requires that we contribute to God's work in and through the Cathedral, not only with our time, varied abilities and talents, but that we prayerfully make a commitment of our financial support. When we give sacrificially, we are giving back to God what is already his.
Our total stewardship giving is a reflection of our personal values and priorities. While the General Convention of the Episcopal Church and the Council of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta have acknowledged the biblical standard of the ten percent tithe for Christian giving, it is up to us as individuals to decide how much and in what form we will support the work of this parish.
Annual Stewardship Drive to Support the Operating Budget
All members of the Cathedral family are given the opportunity and privilege of making an annual pledge. (download pledge card here; click here to make payments online.) When you are asked to make a monetary pledge and to participate in the work of this Cathedral, please do so knowing that you are giving back a part of God's gifts to you.
Endowment Fund. A gift to the Endowment Fund supports the Cathedral's ministries in perpetuity. Using its dividend and interest income, the Endowment Fund assists in meeting extraordinary capital needs and in underwriting special ministries and projects. Gifts can be made in life, by bequest or on a deferred basis. Many of these offer significant benefits to the donor. For more information, call the Office of Stewardship/Development at 404-365-1033.
Stewardship Leaders. If you would like to take a more active part in the programs surrounding stewardship, please contact David Rocchio, Director of Stewardship, 404-365-1033, to learn more about opportunities for participation.
