The Community Congregation

STEWARDSHIP COMMITMENT

GATHER THE SPIRIT, HARVEST THE POWER 

How you spend your money reflects what is important to you.  When making your stewardship commitment please consider what The Community Congregation has meant to you and your family, and how your involvement here will continue to impact your life.  A commitment of 5% or more of your net income says in clear terms that your church, the values it helps you to live by, and this community of friends all have a significant place in your heart and in your life.  Please review the suggested giving guidelines as you consider making this congregation your primary charitable beneficiary.
