Help Us Ensure BHPC Is Here for Good.

We invite you to support the sustainability and ministry of Bradley Hills by making a contribution to our church’s five-year capital campaign. We have a long and cherished history, and we need to invest in our beloved spiritual home to sustain our congregation and mission in the world.

Resources for Reflection & Giving

These resources are designed to support our congregation throughout the Here for Good campaign. The devotional guide offers stories and reflections for prayer, while the giving strategies guide provides helpful information on how commitments can be made and fulfilled.

Devotional Guide

Our devotional guide offers a series of short reflections designed to encourage prayer and thoughtful consideration throughout the Here for Good campaign. Each entry invites us to pause, consider the meaning of generosity and community, and reflect on how we are called to participate.

As you read and reflect, we invite you to hold this simple prayer:

God, what do you want to do through me?

Creative Giving Strategies

Our Creative Giving Strategies tri-fold outlines practical ways to make and fulfill a commitment to the Here for Good campaign. It explores different ways of giving, including traditional gifts and gifts through assets.

If you have questions about making a commitment or how to fulfill your commitment, contact:

Thank you for helping us ensure Bradley Hills is Here for Good.

Supporting Our Church for All Generations

Why do people give?

We give to BHPC because the church makes a difference in our life and the lives of our family and community. We give because we are grateful. We also want our personal financial decisions to reflect our faith and what we value.

Our church has very specific needs, and your financial support greatly influences our ability to meet those needs.

Thank you for helping our church, congregation, and mission thrive!

Many Ways to Give

BHPC appreciates all the ways you give of your treasure.

There are many ways you can give:

  • Cash or check through the offering plate on Sunday morning
  • Mailing checks to the church office
  • Through Realm online or the Realm Connector App on your smartphone
  • Texting your gift (Text “BHPC” to 73256)
  • Online giving
  • Gifting appreciated securities.

Leave a Legacy

The Lantern Legacy Circle was established to recognize those in our community who have expressed their faith and confidence in BHPC’s mission by taking the important step of including the church in their estate planning.

The Circle also includes those whose legacy gifts have been received and now are providing enduring support to the ministries of the church.

Being part of the Lantern Legacy Circle provides an important witness to the congregation. The names of the members of the Circle are occasionally listed in BHPC publications (we only publish the names of Circle members with their permission, in case they wish to remain anonymous).

What Is a Pledge?

A pledge is a promise between the giver and God, shared with the church for the purpose of being more faithful, accountable, and generous. Making a financial commitment is a spiritual discipline (like prayer or worship) to help us focus on God as a priority in our lives.

A pledge is also helpful to our church leadership as it enables them to plan with confidence, knowing your financial commitment will be there to fund our ministries for the coming year.

You can make a pledge to the church at any time. For more information on how to make a pledge, contact Jan Spencer, Director of Financial Ministries or call the church office at (301) 365-2850.
