By the grace of Jesus Christ, our entire lives are rooted in profound gratitude. All that we are and all that we have are gifts from God! By giving to Church of the Incarnation, you are giving thanks to God for all he has given you. We hope this page assists you in making your gifts to Incarnation— whether that be your yearly pledge and monthly gift, a bequest for your estate, a special gift for capital expenses, or a memorial for a loved one.
