We Believe:

...that God is calling us to grow and deepen our relationship with God in Christ Jesus, by becoming an ever more active inviting, inclusive and multicultural community of faith, intentionally inter-generational from infant to elder, always reaching out to those within and outside our community, with many small group opportunities in which to share and live our faith. We'd love for you to be a part of our lives together.

Giving is a powerful spiritual practice. It's a statement of gratitude and trust in God.

At St. Mary's we encourage all our members to prayerfully consider giving abundantly toward causes that serve God's mission. We ask that part of that intentional giving be a pledge of financial support to our parish, both so our leadership can plan ahead in making a budget, and as a tangible commitment to what God is doing here at St. Mary's. Make your pledge for 2025
