Annual Giving
Make an Annual Commitment
Our annual pledge campaign is an an opportunity to empower the church with the necessary financial resources. The pledge campaign does so much: supports the work of ministry; provides for and nurtures staff; ensures our beautiful physical home remains a place of joy and refuge.
The legacy of the pandemic is still with us. Some of the habits of church have faded, one of which is asserting through a financial commitment the heart-centered value we place on this wonderful community.
Our budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024 is $1.8 million. Annual pledged income is the most significant part of the overall budget at $1.6 million.
Every pledge is important. Every pledge, no matter the amount, bears witness to our commitment to make real a world of love and hope.
Enclosed in your 2024-2025 pledge packet is information on the church budget and how funds are allocated. There’s salary information and how our staff compensation aligns with UUA guidelines. There’s a note from our Director of Worship on where we’ve been and where worship is going. You’ll find news on Religious Education and how this wonderful program lays the foundation for the UU community of the future. You’ll also find a pledge card that hopefully makes payment choices align with your own financial situation.
We have the opportunity to envision and create the community we seek. Let us offer the financial support as we are able to give the church the resources needed.
We welcome two different methods of setting up an annual gift at church: you can make a pledge (communicate a commitment) now and fulfill it with your preferred payment method in the 2024-2025 fiscal year, or set up a recurring electronic gift.
