the wider church community, and help churches right here in our
area. Strengthen the Church grows the UCC's future by funding new church starts and invigorating
existing congregations, nurturing lay and pastoral leadership, building youth and young
adult ministries, and supporting the God

within the UCC. All gifts are directed to activities and
programs of your church's local conference as well as the UCC's national ministries.
