Fund Descriptions
General Donation
General donations support the ongoing ministries and operations of CPC.
Stewardship
We are each stewards of our church community. Each fall we ask the CPC community to make a pledge for the following year to give of their financial resources to support the work and ministries of the church. Annual pledged gifts provide church leaders with clear information for use when planning the budget for the following year’s church ministries. Our church budget is made up of members’ and friends’ annual pledges, and informs all of our primary expenditures. These include (but are not limited to) staff salaries and compensation, building maintenance, music and worship activities, youth programs, and our local, state, national and international mission partnerships. Pledged gifts to the church are our primary source of income and are critical in helping us to be the church we strive to be together.
Pastor’s Discretionary Fund
The Pastor’s Discretionary Fund allows our ministers to assist members of our community and other needs as they arise.
Capital Campaign
Capital Campaign expenses include paying down previous loan commitments and supporting ongoing projects.
Neighbors Program (including Central Mission)
Donations to the Neighbors Program are used to purchase coffee, hygiene supplies, bus passes and other items for our neighbors experiencing homelessness, as well as the administrative, or indirect costs of operating Central Mission.
Special Offerings
Through Special Offerings, we are faithfully working to inspire, equip and connect all Presbyterians to do Christ’s mission, bringing together congregations, worshiping communities, mid councils, mission networks, and other parts of the church ecosystem as they nurture and shape disciples and serve Christ in the world. CPC conducts several different special offering campaigns throughout the year.
However you give, and however much you give …Thank You for supporting CPC!
