Our family at UCC supports a wide range of missionary efforts on several continents and countries. Each year the members of the Missions Ministry review current missionary efforts and recommends the programs and their support for the next year.
In many churches, a certain percentage of giving is set-aside for missions. But, the practice at UCC is for members to tithe to support the local church and to pledge an amount above the tithe to fund the missions that UCC supports. Once per year, on Faith Promise Sunday, we ask all of our members to promise to financially support our missions program; acting in faith that God will make giving to both causes possible. This is your Faith Promise.
