Our church is funded by your donations. By submitting an estimate of giving, you help us plan our budget for 2025.
Letters and estimate of giving (pledge) cards were mailed the end of October for
our Stewardship drive for Fairwood Community UMC. We ask that you prayerfully
consider the amount you wish to give to your church for 2025.
Based on the estimates of giving that we’ve received so far, we’re at 47% of our
goal for the 2025 church budget. Thank you!
Extra copies of the pledge cards are available in the narthex (as you enter the
sanctuary). You can also fill out the online pledge form on our website GIVE page:
