Church Donations

Thank you to everyone who supports the church financially. Your generosity allows us to maintain the building, pay our staff, and sustain the ministries that make this community possible. About 20% of every dollar donated goes right back out to support organizations in the wider community.


If you give through the offering plate on Sundays, consider using the envelopes available at the welcome table. This lets us track your contributions and send you a year-end giving statement for tax purposes.
