There are many ways to support the life and ministry of our church. Financial gifts help sustain our worship, programs, outreach efforts, and the ongoing care of our facilities.
Note: We do accept stock option transfers, please contact the church’s Treasurer or office; 518-725-4304.
Each fall, we invite members and friends to participate in our annual pledge campaign, which helps us plan and fund ministry for the year ahead. When significant projects arise, such as major building improvements, we may also hold special offerings or capital campaigns. Most recently, our congregation came together to support the replacement of our church roof.
Memorial and honorary gifts are welcomed throughout the year as a meaningful way to celebrate a loved one, honor a special person, or remember someone who has touched your life.
Donations may be designated in memory or in honor of an individual. Gifts can support the general ministry of the church or be directed toward a specific project or improvement. When a memorial gift funds a particular item or project, a plaque may be placed nearby to recognize the contribution and the individual being honored.
The church also maintains a memorial plaque recognizing individuals whose memorial gifts total $100 or more. This serves as a lasting tribute and a reminder of the impact their lives and legacies continue to have within our faith community.
If you are interested in making a memorial or honorary gift, please contact the church office for additional information.
Throughout the years, members have generously shared their time, talents, and skills by helping with lawn care, building maintenance, special projects, and other volunteer needs. These contributions are an important part of our church community and help us care for our shared home while strengthening relationships with one another.
