Thank you for taking the time to complete a pledge card for 2024.  Your pledge is very important to the ministry of First Presbyterian Church.  Without them, we would not be able to carry out our mission.

The Church Operating Fund covers operating expenses including Missions and Deacons. Some examples of operating expenses are pastoral & staff salaries, benefits & payroll taxes, ministry expenses, building expenses, and administrative expenses, to name a few.  We refer to these expenses as the Church Budget.

The Missions budget is now included in the Church Operating Budget.  The Missions budget supports our Missionaries and other missionary organizations.  You can still pledge to the Missions but know that those funds will go into the Operating Fund.

The Deacon's Budget is now included in the Church Operating Budget.  The Deacon's budget is used by the Deacons to help both members of our community and the great Tacoma community in times of need, provides food baskets at Thanksgiving & Easter, and supports local ministries that provide for the less fortunate.  You can still pledge to the Deacons but know that those funds will go to the Operating Fund.

The Friends of Camp donations support the ongoing operations of Camp McCullough.
