What is a pledge?
A pledge is the promise of a donation to Hope Central Church, which will help the church fulfill its mission and deepest spiritual values.
You can donate through Vanco or Venmo. You can also bring your pledge to church with you and put it in the collection basket.
How much should I pledge?
Tithing, a dedicated percentage of our individual income from 1% to 10%, gross or net, interest or capital to Hope Central, can help us decide how to make a right-size pledge, not giving too much nor too little. Pledging a small percentage at first allows us a beginning practice of generosity for this work in which we believe. Increasing the percentage over the years allows our generosity to deepen, to be a journey marked by signposts and paved with joy. Hope Central practices tithing 10% of our plate and pledge offerings to organizations that align with our mission and spiritual values. We tithe our building and parking use, too.
We offer this guide to help you consider what your pledge might be if you began to give by making a tithe.
