It is through your faithful giving of your time, talent, and treasures that we are able to serve our neighbors and join together as a family to share the light of Christ in Iowa City and surrounding communities.
We encourage everyone to make a commitment to give a certain amount each year. If you'd like to commit to giving regularly, complete our web Pledge Form or download the PDF Form to print. Mail it to the church or give to the treasurer. God calls us to joyfully give back to the church a tithe (1/10th) of the abundance He has given us. If you are working up to a tithe, choose another percentage of your income to give faithfully in the year to come. Please consider joining in the “Round-Up Challenge,” calculating the amount you gave over the past year and simply rounding up to the nearest whole percentage (for example, 2.0% and 2.6% would both round up to 3%). The table below can help you determine the monthly amount that constitutes various percentages of your income. If you have any questions about spiritual practice of tithing, Fr. Symeon is happy to discuss at any time. |
