This community has just completed another record pledge drive season, with over $243,000 in combined pledges and planned IRA qualified charitable distribution (QCD) requests to contribute to the 2025-2026 church year budget.  Although this did not reach our goal of $326,000 (what we truly need for financial sustainability), it is a major accomplishment when compared to last year’s total of about $211,000.

The keys to this year’s success were new pledgers (12—WOW!) and increased pledges relative to last year (41) for a total of 87 pledges and 3 planned IRA QCD requests.  We would like to thank EVERYONE who pledged!   These contributions will sustain our unique and special community.

If you have not pledged yet, it is not too late!  Budgeting is in process.  Please pledge at this link.
