2027 Stewardship Campaign
"Give Boldly, Transform the World"
When Jesus called His followers to be salt and light, He invited them into a life of transformative impact. At Aldersgate United Methodist Church, we see that impact every week—in lives transformed through worship, children learning the depth of God’s love, and neighbors receiving compassion, warmth, and hope through our outreach ministries.
This season, we are stepping into God’s calling with open hands and confident hearts as we launch our 2027 Stewardship & Pledge Campaign: Give Boldly, Change the World.
What Does It Mean to "Give Boldly"?
Giving boldly isn't just about a financial transaction; it is a profound declaration of faith. It means trusting that God takes our gifts—our time, talents, and treasure—and multiplies them far beyond what we could ask or imagine. When we give boldly, we step beyond comfort and routine to actively participate in God’s transforming work in our community and around the globe.
Your pledge directly fuels every aspect of Aldersgate UMC’s mission:
-
Transformative Worship & Music: Creating sacred spaces where people meet God, find healing, and grow in grace.
-
Next Generation Faith: Nurturing our children and youth so they grow up secure in God’s love and equipped to lead.
-
Compassionate Missions: Partnering locally and globally to feed the hungry, comfort the grieving, and serve those in need.
-
A Welcoming Home: Sustaining our facilities so they remain an accessible, safe, and hospitable sanctuary for all.
