Each year, the Finance Team, alongside the church council, create a budget that seeks to fund the ministry God has put before us, while continuing to ask hard questions about how we can operate more efficiently and effectively. 

Upon uniting with this Christian community, we respond to the question: “As a member of this congregation, will you faithfully participate in its ministries by your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness?” Each time an individual unites with our congregation, we reaffirm that commitment. All of these−prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness−involve giving of ourselves and our resources. God calls each of us to share in the ministry of giving. You will find described here a few of the most effective ways to support Christ’s church through your gifts.

Pledging and Tithing

Growth in Christ begins with putting God first in our lives. One very significant way to grow in grace and love is to put God first in the stewardship of our money, pledging each month to give “off the top” to God’s work through the Church. Throughout the long tradition of God’s community, it has not been a fixed amount by which we plan our growth in stewardship; rather, it is the TITHE, a definite proportion of one-tenth of our income, that stands as the traditional minimum gift given back to God out of what we have received.

Your financial generosity enables all of our ministries to answer God’s call effectively. Sharing with the church your prayerful decision to be generous makes it possible for us to confidently make and implement bold plans for effective ministry. Fill out this pledge commitment form.
