Our Annual Pledge Campaign
What is pledging all about? Pledging is your commitment to contribute financially over and only during the indicated fiscal year. Why is it so important? Since pledges historically represent ~ 70% of our revenue, it is a critical part of the budgeting process. The budget is created using the pledge forecasted revenue which then is presented to the congregation for member approval at the Fall Congregational Meeting. Without your pledge commitment, we cannot plan for FirstU’s financial commitments, sustainability, and programming for the coming year.
