John 1:5
”The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness will not overcome it.”
Our Stewardship theme this year - “This Little Light of Mine, I’m Gonna Let it Shine!” - represents the light of God’s love that shines in all of us. As we consider our giving for the coming uear, we ask ourselves, “ How will I let my light shine?”
When we all give our time, talents, and treasure, the light of God’s love shines powerfully through the ministries of our church.
Change the world! Make a pledge! Let your light shine!
Make Your Pledge
2025 CCPC Budget
In 2025, our church’s budget us $1.74 million, of which nearly 76 percent comes from stewardship pledges and other congregational giving. With inflation, many expenses are likely to be higher in 2026.
Here’s how the money raised in pledges in 2025 is being spent.
To make our goal of raising $1.25 million in pledges in 2026, we need every household to prayerfully consider pledging $80 - $100 per week - and more if you are able.
The weekly costs to run our church is roughly $27,000. We need your pledge to shine the light of our many ministries.
