Annual Operating Gifts

Your donation to our annual operating fund is greatly appreciated and will support our mission to know, love, and serve God, to be renewed by His Spirit, and to share Christ. There are several ways to give:

• Drop gift in the Alms basin during a service or hand-deliver to the church.
• Mail gift to St. John’s Episcopal Church, 705 Rayburn Ave. Ocean Springs, MS 39564
• Make an online gift using our secure form.

Legacy Endowment Gifts

To enable the parish to fulfill its mission more completely by developing ministries beyond what is possible through its annual operating funds, we have established three endowment funds:

• General Endowment Fund
• Building Endowment Fund
• Permanent Endowment Fund

For more information about the administration of these funds or other donor designated funds, please contact the St. John’s Endowment Committee. Your gifts are a blessing that will change lives forever.

Tax-Smart and Bequest Gifts

When circumstances arise and opportunities present, St. John's can assist individuals and families in making tax-smart gifts to the church:

• Required Minimal IRA Distributions
• Donor-directed Charitable Fund Grants
• Appreciated Stock Transfer
• Life Insurance Policies
• Bequests

Speak to your tax advisor or our treasurer for more information.
