Giving
At WCPC, we believe that our giving to support the mission of our local church is a joyful response to the abundant grace of God. Rooted in Christ Centered Worship, our giving reflects hearts filled with gratitude, overflowing into Love Compelled Service. Those who consider WCPC their spiritual home make annual pledges as an act of faith, trusting God to provide the resources, and as a commitment to the community and mission of WCPC.
2025 General Fund Pledge Campaign
Making a pledge involves setting your personal giving target (time, talent, and treasure) for the next calendar year. It answers the question: What do I intend to give to WCPC in 2025? It is an act of prayerful commitment to both the community and mission of our church. It is simply an “intent,” because not a one of us knows the future—what God has in store over this next year—but pledging our intent allows our church to plan prayerfully and faithfully.

FAQ
Giving is a natural response to God’s generosity. As followers of Christ, we recognize His lordship over all aspects of life and give as a reflection of our gratitude, dependence on God, and desire to partner with Him in His work.
We ask God, “What is my next step in giving?” Whether it’s becoming a first-time giver, giving consistently, or moving toward giving generously, sacrificial, and even joyfully, each step is an opportunity to grow deeper in faith.
The Bible teaches us to give a tithe (10%) of our income as a way of continually reshaping our hearts to be stewards of God’s resources. While the New Testament rarely mentions tithing directly, it assumes and exceeds this practice, encouraging joyful and abundant giving in response to the eternal blessings we now have in Christ.
First fruits giving means offering the best and first of what we have to God. It reflects our trust in God and our reliance on Him to provide for all our needs, following His example in giving His beloved Son, Jesus, for us.
A pledge is a faith-filled commitment to give to WCPC’s ministry over the next year. It’s not a binding contract but an expression of intent to contribute as God enables.
Pledging helps both individuals and the church plan for the future. It is an act of faith and commitment, helping WCPC continue its mission to foster Christ-Centered Worship, build Joy-Filled Community, and live out Love-Compelled Service.
You can pledge by:
- Submitting a pledge online
- Returning a completed pledge card to the church office
- Emailing [email protected].
Pledge information is confidential, shared only with the church’s operations staff and Stewardship Team Elders as necessary.
Our General Fund supports every aspect of WCPC’s life and mission, including caring for the sick, supporting families, nurturing students, hosting Christ-Centered Worship, offering Christian formation, and equipping the congregation for ministry. It also sustains our partnerships with our local and global ministry partners.

WCPC’s annual budget is based on faith, prayer, and trust in God’s provision through the generosity of our congregation. We set a giving goal, which helps guide our ministry planning for the year ahead.
Our giving goal for the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year is $2.6 million. Reaching this goal ensures that we can continue to meet our operational needs, expand our ministries, and sustain our mission in the community and world. The actual giving is reported via our monthly newsletter, the Sunday bulletin, and this page under Monthly Snapshot.
