STEWARDSHIP
Neighborhood Church sustains its programs, ministries, and facilities through the regular and recurring financial contributions of our members and friends. Our Annual Pledge Drive helps us project our resources into the near future and plan our budget accordingly. As you think about the spiritual home you’ve found here at Neighborhood Church and the values we embody in our world, please give as generously as you can. Please note that 70% of all funds come from the congregation and donations rather than rent and it costs approximately $1,800 per household per year to sustain Neighborhood. Your participation at any level is welcome. If you’re unsure how much to give, please check out our suggested giving guide to the right.
