Empowering CHS for the Future

Laying the groundwork today so our parish family can continue to grow, gather, and thrive for generations to come

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants; it grows into a tree, and birds come and make nests in its branches.

Matthew 13:31–32

Empowering CHS for the Future

Our parish family is blessed with many generous givers, especially among our older members. However, a significant portion of our annual financial support is concentrated among a small group of aging parishioners. As we look ahead, we must grow support across generations to keep our ministries and sacred spaces vibrant.

By God’s grace, we balance our budget each year. However, in recent years, one-time gifts have bridged a persistent gap between operational expenses and revenue. Raising our endowment level supports our annual budget and will help CHS thrive now and for the future.

With growing attendance and no major upgrades in decades, it’s time to revitalize our space—making it more welcoming, supporting community life, and preparing for future generations. We believe this aligns with God’s call to CHS.
