Have you become a 2025 Steward?

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. 

Each week, we gain additional stewards!
We set a goal to reach 85 stewards in 2025. We currently have 72 stewards.

We need 13 more stewards to reach our goal! Make your contribution today.

2025 Stewardship – St George Greek Orthodox Church (09/05/25)

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.
