2021 Pledge Drive


Giving is one of the most powerful spiritual practices in existence. It’s a statement of gratitude and trust in God.

At Incarnation we encourage all our members and friends to prayerfully choose a percentage of their income to give toward causes that serve God’s mission. We ask that part of that intentional giving be a pledge of financial support to the parish, both so that our leadership can plan ahead in making a budget, and as a tangible commitment to what God is doing here at Incarnation.


Almighty God, whose loving hand hath given us all that we possess:
Grant us grace that we may honor thee with our substance,
and, remembering the account which we must one day give,
may be faithful stewards of thy bounty,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

(BCP, 827:38)

A Message from the Senior Warden

Dear Friends,

As I write this, Sonoma County is going through a transformation: the smoke is being blown out; the numerous arms of the Glass Incident Fire are winnowing down to a handful of remote hotspots; the roads that were closed to allow first responders exclusive access are reopening; and the RAIN is coming (thank God!).

I know from personal experience how otherworl…

A Message from Pastor Stephen

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)

Dear friends,

We’ve never experienced being the church under these conditions before.

Our beloved church building has sat dormant for months, with no indoor services held since March.

We went without the Eucharist for six months before resuming once-monthly outdoor celebrations in September with Communio…

2020 has been especially difficult in so many ways, which are addressed by others in these pages. My task here is to inform you how our church finances have played out so far this year.

Here’s 2020 in a nutshell:

Proportional Giving FAQs
with answers offered by Stephen Shaver+

What’s the purpose of proportional giving?

I believe giving away money is a profound spiritual practice. It’s a statement of gratitude and trust in God. It’s a way of cultivating generosity. When we give away money, we say at a very basic level that the universe is not just about me…

Welcome Getting Here Children The Service What's Next?

People decide to visit a church for lots of different reasons, often because they're at some sort of transition point in their lives. Maybe you're a longtime Episcopalian; maybe you have experience in another faith tradition; or maybe you've never been to a faith community at all.

Whoever you are, and wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you enrich us with your presence, and there's a place for you here.

Learn more about visiting Incarnation.

Incarnation is located at 550 Mendocino Avenue in downtown Santa Rosa, just south of the corner with Cherry Street.

Our church parking lot is located around the corner at 636 Cherry Street. The lot often fills up for our 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. services. Additional free church parking is available in the small gravel lot at the corner of Mendocino and Cherry, or in the city garage at 521 7th Street (free on Sundays), which is a two-minute walk from the church. Finally, street parking is also free on Sundays.

We're also located close to several bus lines, and we have a bike rack in the central courtyard.

Children aren't just the church's future—they're an essential part of our faith community right now. At Incarnation we strive to serve our kids' growing faith, and we know they have much to teach adults, too. Children are always welcome in worship: any age, any time.

Learn more about our children's ministries.

Episcopal worship follows an ancient pattern that dates to the earliest days of the Christian church. The first half of the Eucharist is the Liturgy of the Word the second half is the Liturgy of the Table, also called Holy Communion. If you've spent time in Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, or Eastern Orthodox churches, much of our liturgy will seem familiar. If you're unfamiliar with liturgical Christian worship, don't worry. You're welcome to participate as fully as is right for you, or to just relax into the liturgy and let the rest of the congregation carry you in worship.

Often someone who's been visiting for a while will ask us how to become a member of Incarnation. Learn more about becoming a member.
