Why is pledging important? Your pledge is an indicator of how much you plan to give to the church over the course of the year. This let's us plan our budget for the year.
Is financial stewardship for everyone? Yes. Every church member is expected to provide a pledge of financial support to the church to the extent they are able.
What is a pledge? Your pledge is your indication to the church of your financial stewardship for the coming year. A reminder will be sent three times a year, for your convenience, to help you keep track of the status of your pledge.
How much should I pledge? Equal sacrifice, not equal gifts. We invite each member to consider his or her relationship with God and with the Church and determine the financial gift reflective of that relationship and his or her personal financial resources. See the Guide to Giving chart to assist you in percentage giving.
Does my pledge really matter? Every pledge is important and is an expression of your relationship to the church, regardless of individual capacity. Don’t the big dollars matter more? Large gifts are necessary, but no single donor gives even two percent of the annual budget. Every pledge is essential for the church, critical to the giver, and gratefully received
