ONLINE GIVING

God's people have always been characterized by giving, but the way they've given has changed over time. For example, people no longer bring goats, sheep, calves and grain to God as they did in the Old Testament. Giving money is simpler, cleaner and theologically sounder since Jesus has made the ultimate sacrifice.

HOW CAN I GIVE?

  • ONLINE

  • IN PERSON

Anyone who would like to give to Saint Elias Melkite Church online is welcome to do so through our church website. The system makes it easy to quickly transfer money from a bank account or debit card to the church safely and securely. One-time gifts and recurring withdrawals can both be set up, and gifts can be given either to the church's general fund or a specific church project.

At the Saint Elias Melkite Church, we'll continue to take an offering during the service for people who prefer to give by cash or check.  Offering envelopes are available upon request.

Recommended offerings for specific intentions and sacraments are as follows:

Sunday Liturgy Intention: $10
Sanctuary Lamp (Weekly): $25
40-Day Memorial Service: $50
Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Chrismation & Eucharist): $400
Wedding: $400
Funeral: $400

When you give an offering at the time of the sacraments, please place it in an envelope and include a note stating the specific intention. Please make checks payable to “St. Elias Church.” This is not a personal gift to the priest. A personal gift to the priest celebrating your intentions is optional.

Current Fundraising Focuses

We are currently raising funds to support the following activities.  If you would like your offering to go towards one of these missions, please submit your offering in an envelope and include a note detailing the cause you hope to support.
