Stewardship
Your generosity can shape the future we imagine— together.
Each year, the generous pledges of our members and friends provide more than 75% of the church’s operating budget—truly the foundation of all we do together. We don’t receive funding from national or regional offices; in fact, it’s local churches like ours that give to support the wider ministries of the United Church of Christ through Our Church’s Wider Mission: Changing Lives.
As a congregational church, both our leadership and our financial strength come from within. Your support makes our ministries possible—and we simply couldn’t do it without you.
