As we enter this season of hope, joy, and generosity, we invite you to participate in our annual Christmas Offering—a sacrificial act that allows us to extend Christ’s love far beyond our walls.
Imagine a family finding essential items in a school pantry at just the right moment.
Imagine someone in a jail cell encountering the hope of Christ through a caring pastor.
Imagine a child being rescued from exploitation and welcomed into safety.
Your generosity makes stories like these possible.
Where Your Entire Gift Goes
This year, 100% of the Christmas Offering will support three impactful partners serving others with compassion and courage. This means that each organization will receive one-third of the total offering, allowing us to make a meaningful difference globally, nationally, and locally.
1. Riverdale Elementary School — Our Neighbors
Your giving will help provide:
Pantry staples, toiletries, and household items
Clothing, coats, and undergarments through the Kid’s Closet
Support for the All Pro Dad chapter, helping dads and children connect through breakfast and meaningful conversation
2. Metanoia — A PCA Prison Ministry
Metanoia brings the gospel into prisons, caring for those society often forgets and pointing men and women to the One who heals, forgives, and restores.
3. International Justice Mission (IJM) — A Global Rescue Ministry
IJM works around the world to end sex trafficking and child exploitation, partnering with local law enforcement to rescue victims and provide long-term survivor care.
How to Give
You can give through the Church Center app or on our website. The link will remain open through December 26. If giving by cash or check, please note that it is designated for the Christmas Offering.
And as always… if you feel led to give to UPC and its ministries this Christmas, you may also submit a year-end gift to General Operating through our website or directly in the Church Center app. Thank you for your generosity and partnership in what God is doing through UPC.
