Online and Recurring Gifts
Set up a one-time or weekly gift by debit card, credit card, or bank transfer. The secure giving portal is handled through Realm, the parish database, so a recurring gift can be started, changed, or stopped by you at any time without going through the office.
Send a Check
Make checks payable to St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church and send them to 212 N Tulane Ave, Oak Ridge, TN 37830. If you wish to support a specific ministry, please indicate it in the memo line.
Planned Giving
You can include St. Stephen’s in your estate plan or designate the parish as a beneficiary of a retirement account or an insurance policy. Gifts of this kind sustain the parish beyond any one generation. The Planned Giving page sets out the options and how to begin the conversation.
Give of Yourself
Not every gift is money. Sing in the choir, serve at the altar, lead a ministry, read the lessons, host coffee hour, or join the outreach rota. The Time and Talent form lets you tell the parish office which ministries interest you, and staff route it to the right leader.
The 2026 Stewardship Campaign
This year’s campaign is “And the Greatest of These Is Love.” A pledge is an estimate of what you intend to give over the year, and it is what allows the vestry to set a responsible budget for clergy, staff, building, music, formation, and outreach. Pledges can be made through the members area, and they can be revised at any time if circumstances change.
