HOW WILL YOU STEP UP?
​This year, we are inviting every generation to grow in generosity. Whether you’re giving for the first time or have given faithfully over the years, we invite you to take a step up, knowing that your gift will help you and your family grow spiritually while shaping the future of our church. Every act of giving strengthens our church family and ensures that we care for one another as we carry God’s love into the world.
THE IMPACT OF GROWING IN FAITH & GENEROSITY
Worship That Inspires and Uplifts
Your generosity supports worship experiences that stir the soul and deepen faith for all ages. Through inspiring music, meaningful liturgy, and shared moments of prayer, we encounter God’s presence in ways that bring families and individuals closer to God.
Outreach That Reflects God’s Love
When we give generously, we extend God’s love to those in need. Your gifts help us provide support and care for families, children, and vulnerable individuals in our community. Together, we are making a tangible difference, ensuring that Christ Church Cathedral remains a place of hope and transformation for the greater community.
​
Raising Up Future Generations of Faith
By investing in the spiritual formation of children and youth, we are planting seeds for the future. Your generosity ensures that the next generation—your children, grandchildren, and godchildren—will have a place to grow in faith, leadership, and service, preparing them to carry our mission forward.

DISCOVER THE JOY OF GROWING IN GENEROSITY
​When we give with open hearts, we model faith and generosity, especially for our children and ensure they have a place to grow in faith and service. For those who have journeyed in faith over many years, your giving reflects the love and faith you’ve cultivated, inspiring others, and ensuring that our church remains a vibrant, welcoming place for future generations. By giving generously, we all participate in God’s mission and continue the work of love that has defined our church for centuries.
GROWING SPIRITUALLY
An Invitation to Deeper Faith & Generosity
Generosity is an expression of our faith. Just as Christ gave himself fully for us, we are invited to give of ourselves—our resources and our love. Whether you have walked in faith for many years or making your first gift, your generosity creates a lasting impact. It nurtures the spiritual growth of adults and children, ensures that we care for one another as a church family, and keeps us part of a community where faith is lived out daily. Together, we are investing in a future where everyone can grow closer to God.
Respond in Faith and Trust God’s Provision
Growing in generosity means stepping out in faith, trusting that God will provide. Giving isn’t just about fulfilling financial goals—it’s an act of faith, an opportunity to participate in something greater than ourselves, and a way to be a powerful force for good, making a lasting impact on our church and wider community.
A PRAYER FOR SHARING OUR GIFTS
​​Gracious God, as we walk in love and respond in faith, open our hearts to grow in generosity. Help us to trust in your provision, and may our gifts reflect your love in the world. Inspire us to care for one another and give joyfully, knowing that through our generosity, we are part of your transforming work. Amen.
