Why pledge?
Making a pledge, rather than giving weekly in the offering plate, lets us know that we can count on your contribution as we budget for the year.
Pledges form the basis of our annual operating budget, but it's not just about the money: your pledge is a yearly spiritual & financial commitment to the life and mission of this community. There are several payment schedules, so you can find one that suits you, all the while knowing that your act of faith sustains Trinity's operations and ministries.
We're in this together!
It takes hundreds of us sharing what we can to keep our work going. This year, our goal is 800 pledges, because every pledge tells us who is partnering with us in this work. Together we make Trinity happen. We are grateful for whatever you discern.
Every dollar pledged directly supports the mission of this cathedral: to love & serve God, our people, and our neighbors in the Portland metro area and beyond.
