Pledging and Planned Giving
With your pledge, we can support our ministries. You can give annually, monthly, weekly or when you can. We understand when circumstances change and you cannot give as planned, that is okay. To enter your pledge online, you will need a REALM account. If you do not have a REALM account, please contact the church office so someone can help you set up your account or we can enter the pledge for you. You do NOT need to use online giving, you can continue to submit your check or cash to the church each Sunday. We will apply your gift to your pledge.
Planned Giving allows you to leave a gift to St. Martin de Porres Episcopal Church in your wills or through estate planning.

- Consider giving your time by helping with the Altar, the Flowers or Fellowship Hour, be a reader, usher, or teller. Consider being a Eucharist Minister. Contact us!
- Become invested in St. Martin de Porres Episcopal Church!
Pledge
Pledges are gifts used for annual operating expenses and are usually fulfilled weekly, monthly, or annually. Your pledge, however large or small, keeps our doors and hearts open and our many ministries and outreach efforts alive. We invite you to prayfully consider pledging to the operations of our parish.
Online Giving
Your one-time or recurring gift no matter how small can make a difference. Contributions gratefully accepted toward our ministries, Capital Projects, General Fund, our charitable organizations or the Diocese supported ministries.
Planned Giving
Planned Giving gifts can be invested with the Diocese of Virginia's Investment Trust and the interest is used for operating costs.
