SHARING OUR GIFTS
Stewardship at St. Luke
“What shall I give to the Lord in return for all His goodness towards me?” — Psalm 116:12
Stewardship 2026
Rise Up and Build the Body of Christ
Stewardship at St Luke is recognizing life is a gift from God. How we respond is our Stewardship back to Him: a joyful and faithful response to God’s abundant blessings. It is how we offer our time, talents, and treasure in gratitude to God and in support of His Church. Through stewardship, we strengthen worship, nurture faith, preserve culture, support families, and extend Christ’s love to our community and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I make my stewardship commitment?
The easiest way is online through Realm. Simply click Make My 2026 Commitment on this page to record your stewardship commitment. You may also arrange recurring gifts through Realm. If you prefer, the stewardship card and Fr Christ's letter can be found here.
How should I decide what to give?
Begin with prayer and gratitude. Consider the blessings God has given you, your family’s circumstances, and the needs and ministries of our parish. The biblical tithe of ten percent has traditionally served as a guide, but stewardship is ultimately a personal and prayerful decision. What matters most is that our giving is intentional, consistent, and offered joyfully with love.
When should I make my stewardship commitment?
Our stewardship year follows the calendar year, and making your commitment early helps St. Luke plan responsibly for the year ahead. Your commitment or giving schedule may be changed at any time if your circumstances change.
Is my stewardship commitment confidential?
Yes. Individual stewardship information is kept confidential and is shared only with those responsible for administering the parish’s stewardship records. Published lists of stewards never include individual giving amounts.
Do Greek School, Dance, Basketball, or other program fees count toward stewardship?
These fees are separate from stewardship. They help support the specific programs in which you participate, while stewardship supports the broader life and ministry of St. Luke, including worship, ministries, facilities, staffing, outreach, and the many activities that serve our entire parish family.
Do memorial gifts, special donations, or gifts to specific projects count toward stewardship?
These gifts are greatly appreciated, but they are separate from your annual stewardship commitment. Stewardship provides the ongoing support that makes the day-to-day ministry and mission of St. Luke possible.
What if my financial situation changes?
Your stewardship commitment is an expression of intention, not a contract. If your circumstances change during the year, your commitment may be adjusted at any time. Stewardship should always be offered freely, prayerfully, and according to one’s ability.
