At its most basic, it’s how we care for the gifts we have received from God. It means taking care of our environment, of other people and of ourselves. Stewardship is the wise and faithful use of our resources – our time, talents and treasure – all of which we believe have come to us from God. Stewardship is about community – everybody belonging to this wonderful All Saints’ Family. It’s a kind of personal thanksgiving to God for all the gifts God has given us. During this fall stewardship effort, we’ll be focusing on ‘treasure’ or committing to financially support God’s work at All Saints’ through pledging.

Does my pledge really matter?
It most certainly does! To many people, it comes as a big surprise to discover that All Saints’ is not a wealthy church. A prime Beverly Hills location, classic Spanish architecture, the power and beauty of our worship services, the selection of classes and events in the Get Connected brochure all seem to say we’ve made it. But the truth is that All Saints’ manages to maintain all this only through the giving of members like you – we rely on everybody. Unlike many mainline churches, we do not have a large endowment to fall back on in times of need – just those precious pledge envelopes!

What is Proportional Giving?
It is simply committing to give a specific percentage of your income to All Saints’. While 10% (the Biblical tithe) of gross income is the goal, we recognize that you may not feel called or equipped to tithe right now and Proportional Giving allows you to systematically work towards the tithe goal by starting at a lower percentage and increasing by 1% or more each year.

We ask respectfully that you take this year’s stewardship as seriously as we’re all taking God’s calling to fulfill the mission and vision of All Saints’. Everybody is important to this effort, no matter the size of your pledge.
