Annual “Per-Member Asking”
for the Presbytery of the Alleghenies
and for the EPC General Assembly

At the beginning of every new year, the General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, in concert with the Presbytery of the Alleghenies, votes to establish a budget for Denominational and Presbytery operations and expenses. This budget is largely supported by churches and congregations participating in a special stewardship program called “Per-Member Asking.”

For this year of 2025, the amount includes $25.50 for the General Assembly and $15.00 for the Presbytery of the Alleghenies, or a Total of $40.50 for each member who is currently on the roll of each particular church as of the end of the previous year, in this case, on the roll as of December 31, 2024.

Both the Presbytery of the Alleghenies and the Evangelical Presbyterian Church General Assembly consider this “Per-Member Asking” amount as completely voluntary. While some churches are simply unable to fulfill this request, we at Redeemer Presbyterian Church have always taken this matter quite seriously and have purposely funded the full amount of this request through the generous giving of our members.

While Redeemer Presbyterian Church includes this total amount of the “Per-Member Asking” for our membership in our Annual Budget, it is especially helpful if each member, who is able to do so, will contribute the amount of $40.50 per member person—$81.00 per member couple—as a special “Per-Member Asking Love Offering” that is above and beyond whatever amount he, she, or they normally pledges or gives to the General Fund of Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

If you do decide to include the amount of this “Per-member Asking Love Offering” in your giving, please make a notation on the memo line of your check: “Per-Member Asking.”

Thank you for prayerfully considering this request. And, if you have any questions about this, please speak to any Ruling Elder, or to our Treasurer, Marykay Stahl.
