The primary support for the Church comes from you.
During the stewardship period, we pledge financial support for the following fiscal year – July 1st through June 30th.
Costs of our programs and staff continue to rise each year, and we are requesting you increase your pledge by 5% or more if you are able.
As the 2022-23 pledge pyramid shows, last year, as in the past, we had the fortune to be supported by a very few families (11%) who pledged 47% of the budget. We also had broad support from the congregation as a whole, receiving 186 pledges for the year 2022-23 for a total of $861,000; the average pledge amount was about $4,600.
Please take a moment to reflect on our calling, on the blessings that we receive, and on what each of us can do to support our church community.
