FCCPA Stewardship 2026-27

Our church continues to thrive because of the generosity of all who contribute their time, talent, and resources. During our annual Stewardship Campaign, which begins the week after Easter, we are all asked to make a commitment to the financial health of the church by estimating our giving for the coming fiscal year. Our estimated giving helps determine our final budget, which funds staffing, programs, music, outreach, our beautiful campus, and more. By submitting your estimated gift, you help assure that our incredible staff and vibrant ministries can continue to make a difference in our community and in each of our lives in the future.

​
If you have not yet done so, we encourage you to submit your estimated FCCPA financial contribution for the 2026-27 fiscal year, which begins July 1. You may mail in your canary-yellow form or complete the Estimated Giving Form online. The total of all estimates received helps the church develop its annual operating budget.
 
After you submit your estimate, you then fulfill it by making your actual gifts (donations). The Giving Page outlines several ways to do this, including mail, online giving, stock gifts, donor-advised funds, and qualified charitable distributions. Submitting an estimate first helps ensure your donations are accurately tracked and applied to your church account. 


If you choose to give online or to set up an auto-pay plan for yourself, you may use Engage, our Giving Portal. This secure platform supports one-time or recurring gifts by credit or debit card or direct bank withdrawal. Please be sure to apply your gift to 2026-27 Stewardship.
 
If you indicated on the canary-yellow or online form that you would like FCCPA to set up your gift as an autopay, our office will create the gift in the Engage system and send you the receipt. If you have questions, please e-mail Dipali Prabhu ([email protected]) or call her in the church office (650-856-6662).


However you choose to support the church, we thank you. We truly cannot serve our congregation and community without your support.

We gather as a church, welcoming people of all abilities, backgrounds, ethnicities, and those who are LGBTQ+, to become more aware of the love of God in our lives and to make real that love in the world through worshiping, serving humanity, and seeking to follow in the ways of Jesus.
