Dreaming God’s Dream

On Sunday, October 5th, our 2026 Pledge Campaign begins. This year’s theme, “Dreaming God’s Dream: No Gift Too Small, No Dream Too Big,” reinforces the transformational journey the congregation is taking to shape an exciting, sustainable vision for First Church’s future.

We invite everyone to become part of God’s dream for First Church by making a pledge. Pledges represent 65% of First Church’s annual income and give the stewards preparing the 2026 budget a realistic idea of how much income we can expect to receive from the congregation. Pledge income helps pay a significant part of First Church’s annual operating expenses (salaries, building maintenance, administrative costs) and literally keeps the church alive. 

You do not need to be a member of First Church to pledge. Simply fill-out the pledge card you have received in the mail indicating the weekly, monthly, or annual amount you are comfortable giving First Church in 2026. If you do not have a pledge card, see Dana in the church office. If you are a regular pledger, we hope you will continue or even increase your support. If you have never pledged, please consider supporting First Church. The amounts pledged vary, but each pledge makes a difference. 

Our goal for 2026 is $100,000 in pledges. With your help, we will reach this goal and First Church will continue “Dreaming God’s Dream.”  The 2026 Pledge Campaign closes on Pledge Sunday, October  26 when all pledges will be received during the service.

Thank you for your support!

Your stewards: Libby, Judy, Mark, Gerri, John, and Justin
