Giving & Stewardship
We believe that giving is an important aspect of our faith and a way to support our community. We offer several ways to give, including tithes, offerings, pledges, and the annual stewardship campaign.
Tithing is a biblical principle that involves giving a portion of your income to the church. This money is used to support the daily operations of the church and to fund various programs and outreach efforts.
Offerings are additional gifts above and beyond your regular tithes. These gifts can be designated to specific causes or ministries within the church, such as missions or youth programs.
Pledges are commitments to give a specific amount over a set period of time. This allows us to plan and budget for future projects and programs.
Our stewardship campaign is a time when we come together as a community to reflect on our blessings and commit to supporting our church. During this time, we encourage everyone to prayerfully consider their giving and make a pledge for the coming year.
We believe that giving is a way to express our gratitude for all that God has given us and to support the important work of our church. We thank you for your generosity and commitment to our community.
If you have any questions about giving or would like to make a donation, please visit our website or contact our office.

Water and Table are at the center of who we are. At the baptismal font, water reminds us that we belong to God, and to each other, before we've done a single thing to earn it. At the Communion table, bread and cup remind us that God's grace is meant to be shared, and there's always room for one more.
When we celebrate an open table, we're not just pointing out what makes us different from other churches. We're proclaiming that God's welcome is generous and meant for everyone. That kind of welcome also asks something of us: careful, faithful stewardship of what we've been given, so the table stays open to everyone who comes. Your commitment is your part in preparing the table for 2027.

Commitment Sunday is November 22, 2026. Everyone is invited to prayerfully consider their giving for 2027 and bring a commitment card forward during worship that day.
You can turn in a commitment card at any time, and early commitments are especially appreciated because they help the church plan confidently for the year ahead. If we receive your card before Commitment Sunday, a personalized printed card will be waiting for you at worship on November 22, so everyone can take part in the moment of dedication together.
Whether you commit online, by mail, at the office, or in person, every commitment is valued and strengthens our shared ministry.

Our goal is 100 household giving commitments, totaling $575,00 to support the 2027 Ministry Funding Plan. These commitments support:

Outreach that meets urgent needs in Park City and beyond
Stewarding our foundation. Our Connection Center loan is currently about $995,000, with monthly payments of about $10,400. Every gift supports both daily ministry and paying down that debt. Thanks to careful budgeting, close financial oversight, and wise management of our endowment, our financial foundation keeps getting stronger, and we're committed to moving together toward a future free of debt and full of ministry.
New to giving, or ready to grow? If you've never made a commitment before, this is a great year to start. If tithing (giving 10% of your income) isn't possible yet, consider increasing your giving by 1–2% this year. Every gift, at every level, moves us closer to our shared vision.

Life brings unexpected changes, and sometimes commitments need to be adjusted partway through the year. If you need to change yours, just contact the church office. There's no penalty and no shame. Above all, commitments help the church plan faithfully and manage resources clearly.

You always have a place at this table.As a congregation, we trust one another. Just as a household needs a reliable income to set a budget, the church relies on your commitments to confidently fund ministry throughout the year. Even if circumstances shift, your intention and participation are a valued part of our shared mission.
