Why We Give

Stewardship is how we care for what we love.

 

At Columbine Unitarian Universalist Church our congregation is more than a building or a Sunday service—it is a community of care, justice, and spiritual growth. Through our shared financial support, we sustain a vibrant ministry that welcomes all, nurtures faith, and works for a more just and compassionate world.

 

Each pledge is an expression of gratitude and commitment—an investment in the values we live by together.

 

What Your Gift Makes Possible

​

Your financial support sustains every part of our shared life, including:

• Worship that inspires reflection, hope, and connection

• Religious education for children, youth, and adults

• Pastoral care in times of joy, grief, and transition

• Justice and service in our wider community

• A welcoming space where all are valued and affirmed

Together, we ensure that our congregation remains a place of courage, compassion, and belonging.

 

A Community Effort

 

As a small congregation, every pledge matters. There is no “typical” or “expected” amount—only an invitation to give thoughtfully, generously, and according to your ability.

 

We encourage everyone to consider:

• How has this community supported me or my family?

• What would it mean to deepen my commitment this year?

• How can my contribution reflect both gratitude and hope for the future?

​

Our Stewardship Vision

 

This year’s stewardship campaign invites us to “Grow in hope, justice and community”

 

By supporting our annual budget, we are:

• Honoring the work of those who came before us

• Sustaining ministry in the present

• Building a strong, resilient future for generations to come

Pledging is simple, confidential, and meaningful.

 

When you make a pledge, you are helping our leaders plan responsibly and ensuring that our congregation can thrive throughout the year.
