2027 Stewardship Campaign

Thank you for the love and energy you bring to The Redeemer. For almost two centuries, generations of faithful people have come through our doors seeking a closer relationship with God, finding in this place a home, a community, and an anchor for their lives.


This year is a remarkable milestone for our parish: The Redeemer is celebrating its 175th anniversary. We have inherited something precious from those who came before us. Through their prayers, generosity, service, and stewardship, they built and sustained a church that has remained a place of worship and fellowship, and has become a cornerstone for our community since its founding in 1851.


An anniversary like this invites us not only to look back with gratitude, but also to look forward with hope. The church we celebrate today is deeply indebted to the generations before us who understood that their stewardship was about more than meeting the needs of their own time. They were caring for a place and a ministry that would belong to future generations they would never meet.


Today, we have the privilege of doing the same. Our stewardship allows The Redeemer to remain active and welcoming, continuing its ministry of worship, providing a home for those seeking a faith community, and putting into practice the mission of serving others. As we celebrate 175 years, we have the opportunity to strengthen the foundation that will carry this parish into its next chapter.



As we celebrate this significant landmark in Redeemer’s history, may we remember with gratitude all those who gave before us and recognize our own responsibility to those who will come after us. Whatever you can pledge, know that church’s witness to the love of Christ is most glorious mission of all. God has blessed us by allowing us to seek Him together at The Redeemer for 175 years—and, with your help, we can ensure that this sacred work continues for generations to come.

Ways to Make Your Pledge & Gifts

  • Annual Pledge

    Return a pledge card or complete online form (www.TheRedeemer.org/pledge) for the calendar year (payable by Dec. 31 of that year). Quarterly statements will inform you of your payments and a year-end statement will be provided for tax purposes. Your pledge status can be checked online at anytime in the Members Access section of our website.

    The only way for us to track cash is by using offering envelopes sent out every other month. If you are not receiving these envelopes and pay by cash, please check the box on the pledge form or contact Roseann Christian.

  • Checks

    may be deposited in the offering plate (loose or in offering envelopes), mailed at any time or returned along with your pledge card.

    By donating appreciated stock, you can take advantage of tax credits. Information needed by your broker is available here contact Debbie DeBenedictis (610-525-2486 ext. 14).

  • IRA Charitable Rollover

    Taxpayers age 72 and older are required to make annual distributions from their IRAs. This is included in adjusted gross income (AGI) and subject to taxes. The IRA Charitable Rollover permits taxpayers to make donations directly to The Redeemer from their IRAs without counting them as part of their AGI and, consequently, without paying taxes on them.

What is the Lycett Legacy Society

The Lycett Legacy Society recognizes parishioners who have named The Redeemer as a beneficiary in their estate planning. By bestowing this blessing, Lycett members contribute significantly to our endowment. From 2007 to today, The Redeemer received $734,196 from Lycett Society members or their estates and you may recall the recent announcement of a $1M pledge of a charitable remainder trust. These gifts make an immediate impact, providing important funding for the ongoing life of our parish and the sustenance of our church home.


The Society is named after the Rev. Edward L. Lycett, who became rector of The Redeemer in 1856. His vision and perseverance led to the construction of our present church in the early 1880’s. At the time of his death the Vestry noted that Rev. Lycett left us with “a vigorous congregation, a valuable property, a rectory, a growing mission…and all free of debt.” The Society’s purpose is to ensure that such a legacy remains for generations yet unborn.


There are many options for parishioners to support The Redeemer through their estate planning. Members should consult with their financial and legal advisors to make a plan best suited to their situation. Examples of Lycett Society gifts range from life-income gifts through annuities or trusts, donations of tangible assets such as real estate or securities, or bequests designated in members’ wills. Regardless of the method, all Lycett members have committed to the goal of sharing their worldly wealth with the ongoing mission of The Redeemer.


We all enjoy the benefits of the generosity of fellow sojourners who worshipped in the same pews where we sit today. What they did 50, 100 or 150 years ago to establish and nurture our parish’s endowment is still a living legacy. Like all living things, it needs our vision and participation now to continue for future generations.
