2026 Stewardship Campaign

​Dear Church Family
 
We continue to live in interesting times, as the last several years certainly have been. We have experienced great turbulence and change, but many of the unknowns that we were facing have now been resolved or are resolving. Like the pioneers of old, we have chosen a destination and set out on a path, filled with obstacles and challenges, but guided by hope and love, with a wonderful future just starting to come into view.
We have sold our property on 16 E Platte, purchased an office building and property at 1380 S 21 Street, finished with our months of temporary nesting at First United Methodist Church, and have begun worshiping in our own space. Preliminary work on designing our new sanctuary is underway. We continue to support our mission partners and our dedicated staff.
These next 2-3 years will be critical - we have to use our resources wisely while we establish ourselves in our new location, building and growing in our new home. That process has already started, we have welcomed several new members in just the past few weeks. Very exciting!
To continue this work of sharing God's love with all, we need your help. We need you to commit to supporting the church and its ministries for the coming year. The Stewardship Campaign will run 2-23 November, with messages from the pulpit and from members of the congregation in support of this effort. We humbly ask you to give of your Time, Talent and Treasure, as generously as you are able. We will conclude the formal Stewardship campaign on Sunday 23 November, which starts the week of Thanksgiving, an appropriate time for us all to consider how fortunate we are for our many blessings.
 
Please reach deep into your self (and your pockets, and your schedule), and contribute what you are able. Join the others of this congregation by filling out the enclosed pledge slip and return it by mail, in the offering plate, enter an intention to give on our website at https:// www.firstchristiancos.org/intention-to-give.html, or contact the church office via phone at 719-633-8888 or email [email protected].

While we will build our initial 2026 budget using the pledges collected during the campaign, it is never too late to submit a pledge!!
Thank you in advance for your support. It is for you and because of you that we can share God's table with our community
