Our 2020-2021 budget calls for $1,220,550 in expenses. We need to raise $793,000 (65%) in pledges, an increase of $20,500 over last year's budgeted pledges. The remainder of our operating budget comes through other revenue sources.
As you can see on the Income Trend chart below, the proposed 2020-2021 budget shows that $793,000 of our income comes from pledges (blue bar).

During the stewardship period, we pledge financial support for the following fiscal year – July 1st through June 30th.
Costs of our programs and staff continue to rise each year, and we are requesting you increase your pledge by 4% if you are able.
As the 2019-2020 pledge pyramid shows, last year, as in the past, we had the fortune to be supported by a very few families (10%) who pledged 43% of the budget. We also had broad support from the congregation as a whole, receiving 211 pledges for the year 2019-2020 for a total of $781,000; the average pledge amount was about $3,703.
Please take a moment to reflect on our calling, on the blessings that we receive, and on what each of us can do to support our church community.
