The members of Session extend heartfelt thanks to all who have submitted their financial pledge for 2026. Once again, the generous response of our congregation has been remarkable. Every gift and pledge is important to the ongoing ministry of Nassau Church, and there is still time to participate. Pledges may be submitted to the church office by mail, through My Nassau, or by emailing Linda Gilmore.
As the year draws to a close, we also invite you to include Nassau in your year-end giving. Your support extends the church’s reach through our many mission and outreach partners—thank you for helping us share Christ’s love near and far.

Sunday, February 1, 2026 · 2:00 PM · Sanctuary
On September 1, 2000, Dave Davis began his ministry among us as Pastor and Head of Staff at Nassau Church. To mark twenty-five years of faithful service, Dave has chosen to celebrate with a service of worship. The preacher for the occasion will be Bishop Vernon R. Byrd, Jr., who serves the African Methodist Episcopal Church as Bishop in Central Africa, and other friends and colleagues of Dave’s will also take part in the service. A reception will follow. A festival service of worship is a most fitting way to give thanks for Dave’s twenty-five years of ministry among us!
