Invitation to Complete Your 2026 Pledge

Use the pledge form to share your intended giving for the year, helping us budget wisely and serve boldly.

Every fall, we invite our Immanuel family to complete an annual pledge form. If you're new to this practice, you might be wondering: What exactly is a pledge? And why does it matter?

Here's the simple truth: A pledge is a promise—not a legal contract, but a faith commitment. When you complete a pledge form, you're sharing your intended giving for the coming year. You're saying, "This is what I plan to contribute to Immanuel's ministry in the months ahead."

Why Pledging Matters

Your pledge does something powerful: it helps us plan.

When we know what resources we can expect, we can budget wisely and dream boldly. We can commit to growing our youth programs. We can say yes to expanding our food pantry support. We can pledge our own support to mission partners. We can maintain our historic building and invest in new ministries that serve our neighborhood.

Without pledges, we're guessing. With them, we're building on a foundation of faith and commitment from this community.

This year, our goal is 300 pledges. Not 300 identical pledges—we know every family's capacity is different. But 300 commitments. 300 households saying, "We're in this together." It's not about the amount—it's about the participation, the collective commitment to Immanuel's mission.

What Your Pledge Supports

When you pledge to Immanuel, you're supporting:

• Worship and music that lifts spirits and connects us to the divine—from our choir's four-part harmonies to Steven's magnificent organ playing

• Peaceable Kingdom, where children discover that faith is joyful, inclusive, and hands-on

• Community outreach through our food pantry support, Habitat builds, and partnerships that make love visible

• Pastoral care for members navigating illness, grief, transitions, and life's hardest moments

• Our historic building, including those stunning Tiffany windows and the sanctuary where generations have worshiped

• Justice work that stands up for the vulnerable and advocates for equity

  
  

How Pledging Works

Completing your pledge is simple:

1. Pray about it. Ask yourself: What can I give this year? What feels both generous and sustainable?

2. Fill out the form. You can pledge online or submit a paper form. Share your intended annual giving—whether that's weekly, monthly, or occasional gifts.

3. Give throughout the year. You can give through our online portal, the Sunday offering plate, or by mailing checks. Your pledge guides your giving, but life happens—we understand that circumstances change.

4. Know you're making a difference. Every dollar you pledge helps us serve boldly and plan faithfully.
