2025 Stewardship: Growing Joyfully

It’s not too late to make a pledge for 2025!

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 making a pledge for 2025 and helping our church, congregation, and mission thrive!

Make Your 2025 Pledge

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). That discipline can help us keep focused 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.

Our stewardship campaign for 2025 continues. 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.

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.
