Stewardship Campaign: Church Year 2025

  • Our budget reflects St. Nicholas' mission and vision. Donations fund our daily operations and outreach activities, and ensure that the church and its resources are here for us and for others now and in the future.

    While we appreciate all contributions, making a financial commitment allows the church to plan ahead for next year's budget with an accurate idea of what our income will be.

  • You are encouraged to prayerfully assess your household budget and the church's place in it, then choose an amount that is right for you. This Proportional Giving Guide may help.

  • You can do it three ways:

    1. Use the Walk in Love card that was mailed to you the first week of November, or pick one up at church.

    2. Click here to be taken to an online form to make a paperless promise.

    3. Click here for a .pdf of the Walk in Love card which you can print out and complete. Then you can mail it to the church, or scan and email it, or bring it with you to church on Sunday.

  • Oh, there are so many ways! You can choose any interval by which to pay: annually, quarterly, monthly, weekly, or any time period that suits your needs.

    Then, you can get payment to us in the following ways:

    1. A check or cash in the offering plate (be sure to use an envelope with your name on it if you pay cash).

    2. Have your bank send us a check regularly. You can do this on your bank's website - set it and forget it. And it's free for you and the church.

    3. Use Vanco. You will be able to pay by bank draft or credit card using Vanco. Be aware there are transaction fees for the church when you use this method; however, if it's the most convenient way for you to pay, we're happy for you to use it!

    4. If you are using your financial promise to satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution from a retirement account (if you know, you know), your financial institution will send us a check directly. Talk to your financial advisor about doing this - there are tax advantages involved.

    5. We accept donations of stock shares. Contact the Treasurer to find out more.

  • And we have answers!
