DPC Mission Statement
Dear Members and Friends of Decatur Presbyterian Church,
Peace and grace be with you!
We kicked off our “Preparing the Way” Stewardship Campaign to fully fund the ministries of DPC in 2025, our 200th year, a few weeks ago. Since then, you have been treated to messages about the transformational and lasting impact of our ministries that we hope have inspired you. As we enter the last few weeks of the campaign, we ask you to spend some time in prayer and quiet reflection to determine how you can support the ministries of DPC with your financial gifts in 2025 as we move to the end of our second century of service.
Our estimated 2025 Budget is $1,561,500, a 3% increase over our 2024 Budget. Our 2025 Pledge Goal is $1,081,500, a 3% increase over our 2024 Pledge Goal.
You may be aware that the Session recently approved a Capital Campaign for 2025 that will seek to retire the debt, address water intrusion problems, revitalize the sanctuary, refresh the fellowship hall, and possibly include other prioritized items if funding allows. The campaign was approved with the understanding that there would be no residual debt after the campaign concludes. We know this is exciting, but before we can engage in a successful Capital Campaign, it is critical for us to participate generously now in our 2025 Pledge Campaign to fund our ministries for next year!
Please use the information below to help you prayerfully consider how you can support DPC in 2025 and beyond. By reaching our Pledge Goal early, we would love to “Prepare the Way” for a beautiful Bicentennial year. We invite you to fill out a Commitment Card (found at Sanctuary entrances and the church office) and bring it to the church on Commitment Sunday, October 27, 2024, or to make your pledge online by using the link above.
You may also mail your commitment card to the church at 205 Sycamore Street, Decatur, GA 30030. If you have questions about giving or how your pledge will be used, volunteers from Stewardship and Finance Ministries will be in the Parlor after worship on Sunday, October 20. Please stop by!
With heartfelt appreciation,
Elizabeth Webb, Lacy Bedol, Elizabeth Webb, Tom Adams, and Rev. Dr. Todd Speed
