Each year our Stewardship Committee selects a theme for the Stewardship campaign.  In honor of our Church’s quasquicentennial, this year’s theme is “125 Years of Presence and Service.” That’s 125 years of shining our light in our community; trying to make a difference in people’s lives; and welcoming in community an ever expanding group of children of God – some of whom struggle to find welcome anywhere else. In dark times like these, it is essential that our church continues to let its light shine as brightly as possible, and that it remains committed to building what Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., called the beloved community—one built on justice, equality, and love.

That’s where you, our members, come in. Your gift, be it financial, time, or talent, assures our church of your support, helps us continue various good works in our community, and helps us continue to extend an extravagant welcome to all.

If you have not yet done so, we encourage you to provide your estimated future FCCPA financial contribution toward our 2025-26 fiscal year that begins July 1, either by mailing in your canary yellow form or going online to fill out an Estimated Giving Form. The church uses the total of all received estimates to craft its annual operations budget.
 
How do you fulfill your estimate of giving? The Giving Page describes five ways: mail, online, text, stock, and donor-advised funds. The aforementioned estimated giving form helps ensure that your gift is accurately 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, the Giving Portal website. This portal supports one-time or recurring gifts by credit or debit card or direct withdrawal from a bank account.  Be sure to apply your gift to 2025-26 Stewardship.
 
If you marked on the yellow/online form to have FCCPA set up your estimated gift as an autopay, our office will create the gift in our 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) and she will help you.  

​However you choose to support the church, we thank you. We literally cannot serve our church and community without your support.
 
The Stewardship Committee
