Annual Pledging

Did you know it costs approximately $1,150 per person to keep the doors of our church open?

The money we raise during our annual pledge campaign is used to operate our church, fund our events and activities, pay our staff, and maintain our building. For more information, check out the 2012 Pledge Brochure.

We, the congregation, are the major source of congregational income. Members and friends of the congregation have a responsibility to help support the congregation as their personal finances permit.

MEMBERS SPEAK OUT: You may be wondering why people pledge and how they determine an amount that is right for them. Listen to some of our members share their feelings and experiences about the Congregation and their pledging experience.
