Your donation to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod makes a difference. Invest in kingdom-building ministry in the five-county area and around the globe. Every dollar empowers us to keep equipping congregations and leaders for mission.
Please see a list of fund descriptions below. If you have questions about a particular fund or need additional help processing your donation, please reach out to Senior Accountant Martin Schwab ( or 267.323.3754).

Gifts to the All Saints Appeal stay 100% local and are used to directly fund all synodical ministries. Congregational mission support does not fully fund the synod budget. We rely on a network of saints investing individually in this important kingdom-building work. We invite you to give today in honor of the saints in your life who have shared their faith with you. Give in anticipation of the new saints who will be formed by the proclamation of the gospel in our congregations and communities.

Because the immediate need for support for those who receive SNAP benefits and are experiencing food insecurity remains, we invite you to continue giving to support the Hunger Fund trusting in the Holy Spirit’s work among us all. Please join us fighting food insecurity in our communities. As Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 12:25-26, “…the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.”
