2027 Annual Appeal - Your Light Shines
There are many ways in which NPC members shine their light on the world. It feels progressively more imperative that we add our voices to the chorus of those clambering for equality, peace, and love. Your enthusiastic commitment of energy, time, and resources is what makes it possible for us to support our mission partners, continue all the programming within the church, fairly and equitably compensate our staff members, maintain our lovely church home, and be a resource to the community.
Each NPC member and participant in the NPC community is invited to contribute to our annual appeal campaign, Your Light Shines. Please complete the enclosed pledge card and bring it for Commitment Sunday on October 25, 2026. You may also put your pledge card in the mail, bring it directly to the church during office hours, or complete one online. This helps us keep accurate records of your commitment and making your pledge now allows for the Session and staff to properly budget for the upcoming year.
Generosity
Generosity is how we use our God-given gifts; it is how we use our talents, our time, and our treasure. Generosity is how we live out our calling as followers of Christ, and it is what we do after we profess our faith. All giving, that of ourselves, as well as our financial resources, is in response to God's goodness and generosity. God gives, and then we respond, and we spend our lives learning and growing in our responses (PCUSA Stewardship Manual).
Generosity is a lifelong process. From volunteering occasionally to giving annually, the act of being a steward can be carried out in various ways. Here at Northminster, we support our congregation, community, and the larger church organization through our gifts.

Additional Giving Options
There are many ways you can give financially to Northminster Presbyterian Church.
Charitable trusts and annuities, life income gifts, and bequests are other forms of giving. These kinds of gifts may provide tax advantages, and in some cases income, to the donor and beneficiaries. Those considering such gifts should consult with a financial advisor or attorney. Please be sure to let us know if you have already provided for NPC in your will.
Memorial gifts and Honor gifts are made in memory of or in honor of members of family or friends. The church will send a notice of your gift, without indicating the dollar amount, to the family of the deceased or the person being honored. A review of memorial and honor funds is made periodically for appropriate use of the funds if there was not an agreed upon designation in advance.
NPC accepts gifts of property and other tangible items for which it has direct use. These gifts are accepted after consideration by the church leadership. Gifts that are accepted will be acknowledged through a receipt from the church for tax purposes; such gifts are not included on the annual cash giving statements issued by the church, as the value is assigned by the donor.
Contact the Financial Manager for instructions on transmitting shares of stock electronically to our brokerage account. The contribution is valued at the fair market value of the stock certificates at the time of transfer. Please let the financial office know what stocks will be given to NPC. Some people can realize tax benefits through gifts of stock. Please contact your tax advisor or attorney for more info.
Cash and checks may be given during Sunday services, mailed, dropped off at the church office, or through e-giving. Giving envelopes are available in the pews. Dated envelopes are ordered for people who pledge if desired.
