Giving

We Belong Here

Why do people give?

We give as an act of faith to support the work of the church. 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 an estimate of what we plan to contribute to Bradley Hills in 2027.  Making a pledge helps our board plan for the upcoming year by providing an estimate of expected contributions, allowing us to develop our budget.  Thank you for considering supporting Bradley Hills.

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).

How Your Gifts Are Used

The church leadership works diligently to be good stewards of all its financial resources. See below to get a better understanding of how gifts to the operating budget are used to support our ministries.

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?
