Stewardship


Christian stewardship is a way of living in which we recognize that everything belongs to God. Therefore, true stewardship encompasses every aspect of the Christian Life.  Join us at St Thomas as we Encounter Christ and strive to give Him dominion over every aspect of our life, including our finances. 

Planned Giving Gifts are often those that take effect after our journey on earth has ended. They can be the most significant gifts we may ever make, and their importance to the mission of St. Thomas the Apostle Church cannot be overestimated. There are several Pathways to Planned Giving that we hope you will consider:

† Through Outright Gifts of cash or appreciated property.

† Through Bequests in your Will or Trust of a specific amount, a percentage of your estate or of the remainder after all your other bequests are satisfied.

† Through Beneficiary Designation in your life insurance, annuity or retirement accounts.

† Through an Income Annuity you can provide yourself with lifetime income while leaving the remainder upon your death.

† Through Split-Interest Trusts you can accomplish your advanced estate and tax planning goals while leaving a legacy at St. Thomas the Apostle Church. When designating St. Thomas the Apostle Church, please use our official title and address as it appears below:
