The Virginia Plan for Covenantal Giving

In 2021, the diocesan Annual Convention adopted the Virginia Plan for Covenantal Giving. It provides for a three-year transition from the previous proportional giving plan to the Virginia Plan for Covenantal Giving.

In preparation for 2024 pledges, all churches in the Diocese received a communication from the diocesan Treasurer’s Office. Each church’s letter outlined three years of parish income based upon Line 3 of its parochial reports for 2020, 2021, and 2022. The letters also provided the average of those three years’ income, along with the  parish’s proposed contribution to the Diocese based upon 9% of that average. Clergy and wardens: If you need a copy of your church’s letter, contact diocesan Treasurer Ted Smith.
