Become a Steward at Saint George Today!
In 2026, we set a goal to reach 104 stewards since our community is in its 104th year! We have been growing our number of stewards over the years, and we set this goal based on the tremendous growth we’ve seen at Saint George.We have 92 stewards to date, and have 2.5 months to reach our goal of 104 stewards. Become a steward today! Donate here.

***************************************************

2026 Stewardship

Stewardship is the cornerstone of giving to the Church. It represents each person's individual financial commitment to the continuation of the Church, and the collective commitments serve the practical function of allowing our church to meet its expenses.

We are setting a goal to reach 104 stewards in 2026 since the church is in its 104th year!
We currently have 92 stewards for 2026.

Become a steward today! Make your contribution now.

2026 Stewardship – St George Greek Orthodox Church (10/7/26)

The Church’s goal is to completely offset its annual operating expenses through stewardship contributions. Meeting that goal would provide the Church with the stability and sustainability to use funds from fundraisers and other donations to expand ministries and to build existing programs, rather than having to use those proceeds to cover the Church’s operating budget.
