What is Giving About?
For a complete description of giving and how it nurtures our congregation towards fulfilling our covenant, please see the Pledge Campaign Letter. For some guidelines on giving, how the money is spent, and some examples on how giving helps, please see the Pledge Campaign Brochure.
Annual Giving Campaign
We, the congregation, are the major source of congregational income. The money we raise during our annual giving campaign is used to operate our church, fund our events and activities, pay our staff, and maintain our building. Members and friends of the congregation have a responsibility to help support the congregation as their personal finances permit.
One-Time Donations
Perhaps you'd like to make a donation in memory of a loved one, or to support a particular cause we are championing.
Making Your Commitment to Give
There are various ways to participate in the Annual Giving campaign:
Annual giving is supplemented by other ways of supporting the church, including Planned Giving, also known as Legacy Giving, and the Endowment Fund. If you would like to know more about these programs please call the church office , or for Legacy Giving, such as bequests, use the Legacy Giving Information Form.
Members Speak Out
You may be wondering why people give financially 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 annual giving experience.
