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
Initiative Goal: 100% Participation
One Parish, One Purpose
The Mustard Seed Initiative is about growing together. Thanks to early gifts, our goals are within reach, but the true goal is everyone’s participation.
Every household, every pledge, every gift helps CHS thrive—today and for those who will follow.
Your annual pledge helps underwrite vibrant parish ministry and life every week.
Our campus needs a refresh. Every capital gift helps revitalize the spaces where we gather, worship, and serve.
By growing our endowment, we safeguard CHS’s mission for generations.

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.
