“I’m so glad we have a place to be” | A Testimonial from Mike and Karen Stanton

Mike and Karen Stanton know the importance of showing up in service to the church – and they also know that service alone doesn’t keep the lights on.

First Unitarian Church of Dallas was there for the Stantons as they began a family and raised their daughters, and they give to the church to sustain the community that has given them so much. Since Karen joined the staff as our Director of Pastoral Care this year, her commitment has deepened, knowing that the church ministers and staff uphold our values in every interaction.

As Mike shares, pledging is his way of saying “I’m so glad we have a place to be.”

The support of members and friends of the church is what makes all of this possible. Make your 2027 pledge today.
