The Diocesan Support Appeal (DSA) provides annual funding to help carry out our mission: to "grow ever more perfectly into a community of praise, worship, and witness, and to become a leaven of service and sign of peace through love in the Piedmont and western North Carolina". The 2025 DSA, "Reflecting God's Light", provides funding for over 50 ministries and programs.
Each parish is assessed an amount to the DSA. Direct contributions by parishioners offset the assessment and any balance is taken from the parish's operating funds.
