Pledging support for  Emerson

What is a pledge?

A pledge is a promise to donate a certain amount of money to the church and its ministries during the calendar year. Pledges account for more than 80% of our operating budget. We need to know what income to expect for the year for strategic planning of our programs.

Our annual fundraising campaign is called a stewardship campaign. Stewardship is the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care. We steward our resources to ensure the church is there for this generation and for generations to come. Every year we have a Fall Fellowship Dinner where future plans are presented and pledges may be turned in.

Any gift you give is appreciated. We ask you to consider a fair share, reflecting that those with larger incomes can afford to give a higher percentage of their income. Depending on income and commitment level, the suggested pledge amount ranges from 1% to 10% of annual income.

If your income is highly variable, or if you are retired, you’ll find some helpful hints on determining your gift in this article.

By the first of November if possible, so we can budget for the following year.
