We have no rules about how much you give. There are no membership dues. As an act of faith and spiritual practice, we are called upon to give generously to support the body of Christ in the world, as we are able.
Pledge cards will be mailed the week of November 18, due by Stewardship Sunday, November 24. However, you can make your confidential pledge anytime by clicking the button below. Please check your email after making an online pledge to be sure you receive a confirmation email.

Another successful year in our pumpkin patch
Pumpkins graced our front lawn in the month of October, drawing in members of the wider community as we welcomed the fall harvest season. This year we shared information about our Mission + Outreach ministries as well as our Youth and Family Ministries with neighbors and friends who grazed the patch. We raised $15,000, netting over $7,000 to support the 2024 budget. Thank you to pumpkin man Nick Crichton, Debbie Wheeler, Emily Mathews, Peter Strobel and all our incredible youth and adult volunteers who donated their time and care to this year’s patch.
