2027 Stewardship Campaign

Through November 10, 2026, we have received pledges totaling $831,017.12 toward a goal of $1,250,000 in support of our 2027 operating budget . Although the formal campaign has concluded, your Gratitude and Generosity Team will pursue and accept 2027 pledges throughout the remainder of 2026 while we continue to approach our goal. 

Confidential pledges may be submitted by mail to FPC-B’s Financial Administrator, Tori Stadler, or electronically through the “Pledge Online” application of the church website’s home page, or by utilizing the QR code below. Additional pledge cards are available in the narthex.

NOTE: As you begin to consider your calendar year-end giving, keep in mind that you may make gifts through donations of appreciated stock, and for those who qualify, you may utilize your IRA assets to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), which might also help satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). You are encouraged to seek advice from your financial planner as you ponder these decisions. We sincerely appreciate your generous commitment to the continuation of God’s work.

Mission Yearbook: Minute for Mission: Hunger and Homelessness Sunday

When we talk about hunger, we often focus on the food pantries, soup kitchens or grocery stores. But for many families, the root of food insecurity starts at housing stability. Housing and food are deeply linked. Currently, half of all American renters spend more than 30% of their income on housing.¹ For those severely cost-burdened, who are spending over 50% of their income on housing, the tradeoff can be brutal: they cut back on food and healthcare to keep a roof over their heads.² Stabilizing housing is the foundation for freeing up resources so that families can eat.
