Giving

There are three main ways you can give to the work and ministry of St. Paul’s Church:

ONLINE: You can give online by clicking the button below, and providing information. Note that the payment processor takes a small cut of such gifts.

Donate

CHECKS BY MAIL: If you won’t be at a service for awhile, you may mail your check to 7100 N. Ashland Blvd, Chicago, IL 60626. Please note your pledge envelope number on the check memo or enclose pledges within your pledge envelope inside an outer stamped/addressed envelope. We do not recommend sending cash by mail.

BANK ACCOUNT BILL PAY: Most commercial banks offer an online bill pay service where they will send checks on your behalf. This can be especially convenient if you give regular amounts on a regular schedule, as you can set up a recurring payment. Use St. Paul’s Church by-the-Lake as the payee name, the address above, and for pledge payments, note your envelope number in the memo field.

annual pledge

Each Fall, our church invites all attendees and friends of the church to prayerfully consider what God might be calling them to commit in the upcoming year to the work and ministry of St. Paul's Church by-the-Lake. Our annual budget is based on the these commitments. Every little bit helps us to plan and budget effectively.

If you would like to begin giving to St. Paul's in this way, you can fill out a pledge card by clicking HERE, talk to our Treasurer, or email finance@stpaulsbythelake.org.
