2026 Stewardship for HUMC

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
1 TIMOTHY 6:18

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the 76 families who generously participated in our “Path Forward” stewardship campaign. Thanks to your support, we secured $468,000 in pledges for 2026—an increase of $3,000 over last year’s total. Your commitment and trust truly make a difference.

Together, we are laying the foundation for a brighter future for HUMC and the broader community. Building on this strong show of support, we want to keep you updated on our ongoing financial work and how your contributions will be put to meaningful use.

Currently, we are finalizing the 2025 financial statements while collaborating closely with Pastor Bell and our church lay leadership to align next year’s budget with the pledge commitments you have made. This transparent process ensures that every dollar is thoughtfully allocated to support our shared priorities.

Because of your generosity, HUMC will have the resources needed to realize our vision: expanding outreach programs, strengthening our ministries, and investing in resources that enrich the lives of both our congregation and the community we serve. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and confident in our ability to implement key programs and staffing plans.

In the coming weeks, we will provide a comprehensive financial update for both 2025 and 2026. Thank you once again for your steadfast support and partnership as we move forward together.
