Stewardship 2026
As we enter a new year, we invite you to prayerfully consider what "Why Church" means to you. Please consider how you can financially support our church and submit your Pledge card for 2026. You can place your pledge card in the offering plate on Sundays, mail it to the church or submit online.

During this difficult time for many of our neighbors, help put food on their tables by donating canned goods. Place your items in the basket in the Preschool Lobby on Sunday or leave in the bin on the 16th Street porch (entrance door #1). The following low sugar and low sodium items are needed:
- Canned fruits
- Canned tuna
- Canned soups
- Canned vegetables
- Canned tomatoes
- Peanut butter (in plastic jars)

Fire Update
Progress continues toward finalizing our fire side restoration. We are working closely with our contractor to schedule our last remaining county inspections and work through our punch list. We have encountered a delay with additional modifications needed to our fire alarm system, which is being addressed.
Installation of office furniture and Gathering Space furniture is complete (sneak peek in pics below) and other furnishings are expected to be delivered and installed in the next several weeks.
As a reminder, until the restoration project is finished, we continue to be limited to the sanctuary, preschool, youth area, fellowship hall and L-8 and L-9. Staff continue to work at home. We thank you for your patience as we move through the restoration and remain grateful for your continued support and prayers.
