Make Your Pledge

2024 CCPC Budget

In 2024, our church’s budget is $1.44 million, of which nearly 76% comes from stewardship pledges and other congregational giving. With inflation, many expenses are likely to be higher in 2025.

Here’s how the money raised in pledges in ‘24 is being spent.

The average annual pledge amount given by CCPC church members or “pledging units” (i.e., a married couple or family making a combined gift) is $5,950, but half give less than $3,600.

To make our goal of raising $1.2 million in pledges in 2025, we need every pledging unit to give prayerful consideration to pledging at least $4,000 – and more if you are able.

Our stewardship theme this year – “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” – reflects our reality that the Triune God is our constant support of strength, support, and comfort. Through stewardship, we give back to God and our church for God’s steadfast presence with us through all.

Deuteronomy 33:27

The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

Psalm 46:1-3

God is our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble.

II Corinthians 1:3

Praise be to God and our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of compassion and all comfort.
