November 16 Faith Pledges

Your ministry of this service to God’s people isn’t only fully meeting their needs but it is also multiplying in many expressions of thanksgiving to God. They will give honor to God for your obedience to your confession of Christ’s gospel. They will do this because this service provides evidence of your obedience, and because of your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone. (2 Corinthians 9:12–13 CEB)

The Apostle Paul here commends generosity in supporting the ministry of the church because giving meets needs, expresses our obedience, and brings glory to God. Put simply, disciples of Jesus are to give generously as an expression of commitment.

On Sunday, November 16, during worship, we will present our faith pledges (written commitments to give) to support our 2026 operating budget. Pledges will be received until December 7. Please contact a pastor if you have questions about the church’s finances and how you can help.
