Stewardship
Stewardship - The Parish Council of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church is pleased to announce a few new ways to donate to your church. We have launched a new stewardship service that allows you to give one-time or recurring gifts from your computer, tablet or smartphone.
Our Church responds to the spiritual needs of the Greek Orthodox Christian Faithful through our ministries, providing programs and services to our community. We invite you to prayerfully consider sharing the resources given to you by God by donating your time or talents. Your support helps us further the vital ministry work of the Church.
Here are the ways you can support your Church:
Volunteer: Please consider volunteering for one of the ministries of the Church--nothing is more valuable than your time. Email Father Catalin (frcatalin7@gmail.com) and let him know where you can help.
Mail: You can mail a donation to: Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church, 2990 South Cashua Drive, Florence, South Carolina 29501
Online (NEW!): You can make a one-time or recurring donation safely online at: https://www.gotflorence.com/donate
Smartphone App: There is also an app you can have on your smartphone that you can use to make donations to the church. You can also download the Tithe.ly App at: https://get.tithe.ly/download-tithely-app
Thank you for your support of your Church!
