Her gift, though small in amount, reminds us that even the smallest contributions carry immense meaning when rooted in love and community. It also reminds us just how important it is that we sustain our ministries.
As of January 30, 136 pledges totaling $1,168,260 have been received for the FY25 budget. The proposed overall budget is $1,738,000. To submit a final FY25 budget, the Finance Committee requires that 80% of the general fund revenue line item be pledged—$1,366,384. We are currently $198,124 short of this goal.
Without reaching this target, we will face difficult decisions about reducing the annual budget, which could limit our ability to serve both our church family and the broader community.
If you have not yet made a pledge for the 2025 budget, we invite you to join us in meeting this challenge. Here are three quick ways you can make your pledge today:
- Email your name and pledge amount to our financial administrator.
- Visit our stewardship page to complete the online pledge form.
- Use the pledge card you received in the mail. If you need another card, email the financial administrator.
All information you send is confidential.
