Stewardship Campaign 2020 — Growing Our Faith

Our 2020 Mission Spending Plan (a.k.a. budget) is poised for ministry growth this year as we look forward to the ways we are called to grow into what is next. We have plans to continue to support our staff, care for our space, and increase our benevolences.

We believe that together, we can grow into God’s vibrant future and pray that you will join us!

Throughout the next few Sundays, we will hear stewardship reflections from some of our members during worship.

On November 3, in worship, we will dedicate our pledges for 2020 and celebrate the mission God has given us. Look for pledge cards in the mail, pick one up at church, or pledge confidentially by clicking here to access our 2020 Online Pledge Form.

"Walk with justice, walk with mercy and with God's humble care ..." We end by singing this every week and it is seen in our members' actions not just our words.
