Give In Person
We invite you to give in person during our Sunday service.
You do not need a mySaintJohn's account on Realm to use this pledge form. We will simply ask for your name and email if you don't have a log-in.
After submitting your estimate of giving, you may check the box that says, "Add an online gift to fulfill this pledge." A pop-up will appear allowing you to create a reoccurring gift and to input your credit card information which will be stored in the secured system.
If we have your address, you will receive the card with a prayer in the mail as well. Reach out to the church office if you have questions.
Thank you

United Methodist Committee on Relief
As the humanitarian relief and development arm of The United Methodist Church, the United Methodist Committee on Relief – UMCOR – assists United Methodists and churches to become involved globally in direct ministry to persons in need. UMCOR comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire, or other events—to alleviate suffering and serve as a source of help and hope for the vulnerable. UMCOR provides relief, response, and long-term recovery grants when events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on their own. UMCOR also provides technical support and training for partners to address emerging and ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development.
On the first Sunday of the month, your Communion Rail Offering may be placed in the boxes located at the altar rail. You may also give online or by mail, designating your gift for “Communion Rail Offering”.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the “General Fund” offering?
Each fall, staff and volunteers of Saint John’s set the financial priorities for the next year through the general fund budget. General Fund offerings, pledges to the General Fund and other items make up the revenue for the General Fund budget. The budget provides the financial resources for adult, youth and children educational ministries, worship ministries, human resources, general administrative and facility expenses.
What is the “Communion Rail” offering?
On the first Sunday of the month, communion is offered in worship. After each person receives the communion elements, each person is invited to pray or meditate at the altar rail. If you so choose, you may leave a small financial token at the altar rail. Each month a different mission initiative is selected to receive the offerings gathered at the rail. The pre-selected mission initiative will be announced in the service and that week’s newsletter.
What is the Saint John’s Endowment Fund?
The Endowment Fund of Saint John's was established in 1976 to provide members and friends of the church the opportunity to make charitable gifts to a permanent endowment of financial support. By including Saint John's in your will or estate plans, you can significantly strengthen our church's vital mission both locally and around the world. Grants from this fund support many strategic plan initiatives around our community. Click Here to read our FAQs about the Endowment Fund.
