Dear St. Lukers,
Thanks to the generosity of over 600 St. Luke’s households so far, 2025 is off to a strong start—and we want to say thank you!
Take a moment to watch the short Mid-Year Financial Update video below from our Church Council Chair and Finance Committee Chair. It’s filled with celebration and gratitude—and it includes some exciting highlights of what your giving is already making possible.
And since the filming of this video, we’ve gotten even more great news for our June financials. We are now up 20% in total revenue from this time last year, including an increase in giving of 8%!
Earlier this year, during our Estimate of Giving campaign, we invited our St. Luke’s family to grow in generosity so our ministries could grow in impact. Thanks to your response—and that of many others—we’ve seen an 8% increase in pledged giving, with 85 new pledgers joining in. That momentum is already showing up in the life of our church in powerful ways.
If you are one of those pledgers or givers, thank you! And if you haven’t yet joined in as a co-creator of the incredible ministry St. Luke’s is able to do on a weekly basis, now is a great time to jump in to ensure that we finish the last half of 2025 as strong as the first half.
You can update your giving, or set up recurring donations anytime by visiting st.lukes.org/give. And you can always see your giving progress in your Realm account.
Every gift you make helps people experience God’s love—through worship, mission, music, youth, and children’s ministry, and so much more. As we move into the second half of the year, your continued generosity is helping us Thrive in 2025.
Thank you for being a part of this thriving, growing community. We’re grateful to be on this journey with you.
With deep gratitude,
Pastor Melissa
