Donating to Stowe Community Church
Your generous support helps us to both fulfill our mission to help those in need, as well as maintain one of the most beloved historic churches in Stowe, VT. Donors may direct funds to a specific area of focus, our capital campaign, or to our general fund.
One-time and monthly donations are accepted online through PayPal, Venmo, or credit card. We also welcome gifts through your Donor Advised Fund, your retirement fund RMD, and gifts of stock.
Please let us know if you would like to help sustain the Church in the future with a planned gift, through your will or another estate-related gift; we are always thinking of tomorrow as well as caring for today.

Capital Campaign
2025 marks the second year of our three-year Capital Improvement Campaign at Stowe Community Church. This second phase includes a complete transformation of our existing kitchen into a fully functional commercial kitchen, the addition of an ADA-compliant bathroom, and the installation of a modern and energy-efficient HVAC system. In addition, a LULA lift will provide ADA-compliant access to all three floors of our church for the first time.
The historic parsonage has also been extensively renovated in this campaign, to further extend its longevity as it approaches its 200th birthday. Improvements include kitchen updates, a full bathroom added to the second floor, central air conditioning, roof replacement, driveway repaving. Several trees were also removed, on the recommendation of local arborists, to mitigate significant safety risks to the structure and the community.
As construction costs continue to rise, we may consider extending our fundraising efforts beyond the original three-year timeline to accommodate any unforeseen cost increases and ensure that we can complete all planned improvements with excellence.
