Vestry's Message

Dear Fellow Parishioners

By adapting and more than just a few leaps of faith, St. Columba’s has survived and thrived through the recent challenging and uncertain times.

We continued to worship, learn, and serve others together. Bold initiatives like our goal to end family homelessness in DC by 2030, the overwhelming parish support for our Refugee Response Ministry and all our outreach ministries demonstrate our response to God’s call to embrace the world. We invested in updated technology to provide and expand access to our worship and educational programs while we were unable to physically be together. Even as we are again worshiping in person, we have an entire online community practicing our faith together.

These investments in our infrastructure and our mission to Live God’s Love have been successful but also require our increased support. Pledges are the largest source of income for St. Columba’s and are essential for the vitality of the church. Pledges account for roughly 80% of the revenue in our budget. Like everyone, we are feeling the pressure of increasing costs. The current annual budget of $3.4 million supports our ministries, pays staff and clergy, maintains our building, and allows us to respond to challenging times.

Your generous pledge is essential to fulfilling our mission.

We are indeed a church on a mission to Live God’s Love, with many hearts and minds and hands and feet, together we are working to make a difference. We are Living God’s Love here at St. C’s and in the wider community where the need is great and where there is so much more to do.

We want to take a spiritual journey together; to experience the peace, the joy, and the community of St. Columba’s….A Leap of Faith together.

With gratitude,

Abigail Gorman, Senior Warden

Sara Glenn, Junior Warden

The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. ~ Anne Lamott

Joining a church doesn’t mean you don’t have big questions or doubts. Deciding to be part of a loving community of faith means you’re open to exploring and wrestling with those big questions and doubts. Most people here did not grow up in The Episcopal Church. Some have never been a member of any church. Many have a background in a different church or faith tradition. At St. Columba’s, there will be many opportunities to learn, ask questions, and get to know other pilgrims along the way. Our deepest hope is that everyone who steps through our doors knows they belong here.

A pledge is a promise - a promise to give a certain amount over the course of the following year. We don’t expect you to fulfill your pledge in one lump gift. Many find they can give more when pledging and then giving incrementally over the course of the year.

Pledging before the start of each calendar year is critical for clergy and staff to develop an annual budget and plan to serve you and our wider community.

Pledge Brochure & Video FAQs



Why Give? God asks us to share our time, talent and treasure. A life of generosity is at the root of Christianity. The Bible encourages the tithe – or 10% of your annual income – and we encourage you to think about what a meaningful gift would be for you.

When you give to St. Columba’s you help fund our ministry in the community, our worship, and the staff that supports our community as we strive to Live God’s Love.

Our mission is funded by you – St. Columbans and other supporters.

Give Now

St. Columba’s is grateful for your generosity. We accepts gifts in the form of cash, checks, appreciated stocks, Charitable IRA Rollovers, Donor Advised Gifts, and matching gifts. If you would like to include us in your end-of-life charitable gift plans, we accept bequests, life income gifts, and gifts of special assets (real estate, closely held stock, life insurance).
