Our Philosophy of Giving

We understand ourselves to live in the abundance of God's grace, and to have an abundance of resources. As the UCC Denominational stewardship theme for 2020 emphasizes, we recognize that we are beloved by God, and called to love, and our response to that love is to give, both to our own local church, and to the world around us. We made a commitment many years ago to give to "Our Church's Wider Mission" an amount equaling at least 20% of our expenses. Above and beyond this, we are committed to supporting important closely related ministries, such as our UCC Seminaries, and the Interfaith Ministries of Greater St. Paul. When you give to UCC in New Brighton, you are helping us to shine the light of Christ's love both within our congregation and far beyond.
