Our 2025–26 theme year, Return Again, calls us back to what grounds us—love, connection, justice, and community.
Your pledge makes this return possible. It sustains our worship, strengthens our programs, and fuels our mission so that all who come here find belonging, renewal, and the call to live our values.
With your pledge, our congregation remains a place where all can return—again and again.
Submitting your 2026 pledge and setting up payment is a simple 2-step process.
Step 1:
Fill out a pledge form to let us know what you plan to contribute. Your completed pledge form allows the church to build our 2026 budget.
Step 2:
Set up a recurring gift in Realm using a debit/credit card or linking a bank account. Select “Give Multiple Times” to set your giving schedule.
DID YOU KNOW?
🌀 We build our annual budget solely from your pledges. Your gifts determine programing and staffing.
🌀 A pledge of $2,272 per member covers our operating costs (electricity, heating & AC, building maintenance, livestream, paper for Orders of Service, etc.) and giving above that level allows the church to fully implement our values in the world.
🌀 When you pay your pledge automatically through your bank or with a credit card, you help stabilize our income throughout the year. Thank you!
🌀 In Realm (onrealm.org/1stuchurch), you can choose to offset the processing costs of your online gift.
🌀 Your giving information is private and secure in Realm; only you or your partner/spouse can see it.
🌀 Anyone can make a pledge, even if you’re not a member
